Nikon 6T filter. Where to buy...?

[mekondelta]

Would like to get into macro photography with my Nikon 75-300 F4.5-5.6 and the Nikon 6T filter seems the way to go without heavy outlay.

Seen these for about 30quid on eBay but none for a while. Anyone know where else to get one for that price? It was a HK dealer by the way but there must be something in England that isn't double the price?

Also, is there a Canon equivalent at 62mm?

Can't help with sourcing but interesting article about the 500D:

Thanks for the replies. The Canon 500d doesn't seem to come in 62mm which is the size of my 75-300. Spose I could go for a stepping ring.

I'll keep track of the USA lens. Might be the only chance i get to get a deal.

Anyone know the import duty for a close-up filter?

Items of that value should be exempt - not sure of the exact threshold but if you ask the sender to declare it as $10 you'll be fine.
