I ordered a B&W Series VII circular polarizer for my 28 2.8 from B&H last summer. About a month later I received a post card stating that the filter was discontinued and my account was credited. In the fall at Photo East at the Javits Center I recounted the story to a representative from Schnider(B&W). He stated that although it would be a special order I should try www.2filter.com . It was his opinion that B&H deals in gray market only, and would not special order a filter. "Peter C.
