This listing is for one (1) vintage lens filter, miscellaneous brand, your choice of either Skylight (mostly 1A, some 1B) or UV/Clear. You will receive one of your choice essentially at random, however if you have a specific preference, message me and I will do my best to help. These filters are in usable condition, and I have tested that each filter's front and rear threads screw into another filter without difficulty. I have not cleaned these filters, and they generally show some usage; some are mint and spotless but most have some dust, many have e.g. some scuffing and wear on the paint, however I will not sell a filter with obvious meaningful damage (see photos for a representative idea). They will be fine to use for appropriate applications after you clean them. The photos are of the stack at the time of listing, and as I sell and/or add more filters there will be filters not pictured and vice versa.
This listing is mostly for general-brand filters, occasionally a name brand like Nikon, Canon, Mamiya, Minolta, or Pentax if it doesn't look like it was given premium coatings. These filters are adequate quality for lens protection and general usage, however most of these are not premium quality, with rare exceptions when I have one I just don't want to list separately. Most of the filters in this listing are vintage 1970s-1990s but occasionally there will be a modern one, some with fantastic coatings that reflect almost no light, however please assume you'll get a vintage one with vintage coatings. Again, please feel free to message me with any requests.
Satisfaction guaranteed. My goal here is what I view as a win-win: I'm offering these at a price that doesn't even really pay for my time, but I really would like these useful items to become useful again, as a kind of pushback against the cycle of excessive consumerism. You can get better modern filters for sure, but these are more than adequate for almost all purposes — I use filters like this myself to make many photos, for example. If you're not delighted with what you get, just let me know.
The filters sold in this listing will have brand names like Vivitar, Quantaray, Prinz, UGC, Rokinon, Cambron, Toyo, Promaster, Jessop, Kalimar, Toshiba, CPC, Access, Tokina, Rolev, Albinar, Kenko, Asanuma, Calumet, Spiratone, Samigon, Sunpak, Soligor, etc. Look at my other listings for premium Tiffen brand, Hoya brand, Vivitar VMC multicoated, and B+W filters. They will have various weights and differing thicknesses. Most will be made with aluminum mounts and threads, but some are plastic. Most are made in Japan; some in China, France, Korea, Philippines, USA, USSR or other places.
I will combine shipping on multi-item orders. Usually eBay does this automatically, but sometimes it doesn't work for whatever reason. If I see that you paid a lot more than the actual shipping cost, I'll adjust the order.
