Don't overlook a used swing-out with defective glass. Thanks to a
previous posting on this list, I fished out just such a filter from a
dealer's "miscellaneous" box for $5.00 and replaced the glass with
the glass from a new 49 mm Tiffen linear polarizer ($12.00) which a
local optician ground down to the requsite 43mm diameter ($5.00).
The purists may howl, but it works.
