I'm trying to get myself few filters mainly the ND grad and the standard full stop ND. Where could i found any of these in melbourne. couldn't find it in camera house and teds. Michael would cost me a fortune as their price is crazy.

Where else could i find these filters?

Cheers!

I don't know about Oz, but I always order from Amazon (or any of their partners), I have a 1 stop, 3 stop, and 10 stop filter.  All are B&W (very good optics) and the 77mm versions sell for < USD 100.

yeah.. i thought about buying from amazon or bhphoto but it would be more easier if i could buy it directly in store as i'm not a fan of delivering pieces of glass. it might break and have to file for refund or resend. that will cost me a lot of time waiting.

I have ordered 6 L sieries lenses and about 10 filters and have never had a problem.  Once, in 12 years, I had a problem with something from Amazon (DVD was lost in the mail), as soon as I raised the issue, they over-nighted me a new copy.  Filters are very unlikely to be damaged, they are already in a protective case, then the protective filling in the box.  I would not worry about it.

I've had a different experience with amazon.  They shipped me a tiny macro lens in a box that would be fitting for a 500mm lens.  I got the box and the lens was bouncing around all over the box (along with a handful of air packets).  The lens cap was off, and it didn't fit correctly.

I don't have any experiences with B&H, but I can't imagine it would be worse.
