Neither list more than the very most popular of their filter sizes in their catalogues; the rest are available by special order. Have your dealer check on that. The same situation applies, certainly, to Tiffen, though I do not know about Hoya. Harrison & Harrison does list all of their offerings in their catalogue. And Harrison and Harrison, and B+W, and Heliopan can all provide a pola-screen in E44, incidentally, as well as Series filters. Another choice, of course, would be to have an E44 to E52 or such adapter made. I believe a local firm (local to you, I mean!) which could provide this is: SRB Film Service 286 Leagrave Road Luton, Bedfordshire LU3 1RB United Kingdom Voice: +44 1582 572471 FAX: +44 1582 572535 E-mail: srbfilm@aol.com Finally, there is no "US Sales Tax". Each state levies its own, and there is no national collection agency at all. I have great difficulty believing that HM Customs would bother about collecting taxes for Delaware or Montana, and I have even greater difficulty seeing how such would be due, in any event.
