No glass ones, but there are filters from other companies made of resin with less colour cast than a Lee Big Stopper.

How long does one wait for the Lee Big Stopper

Loooong time lurker, first time poster. J.R. I have to admit I'm appreciative that you shared this tip and I ordered it when I did. Apparently BH is already sold out again, so I'm lucky that Tipsters like you share these kinds of posts here on CR.J.R. said:
Seeing as I previously signed up for email notification pending the Big Stopper's availability and was never notified - who knows how long (years?) I'd have had to get one! Thank you!

Ive got one and can testify how good they are. Only problem I have is they put a cool blue cast on the pics. Otherwise, the best filters around. Good luck with the big stopper, youll love them but getting the timing right is a bit hit or miss.

Cast is easily correctable in post if shooting in RAW. Problem is.... they are fragile as &^%/2!

Hahaha, noted. Anyone had any experience throwing on a warming filter for good measure, rather than correcting it in post processing? Cheers.charlesa said:

Never tried using a warming filter, they are not used that much now that we are in the digital era.

I am on the list at B&H and also received the "still out of stock email." Also have on backorder at Adorama. Maybe one will come through some day before the end of summer...............hope springs eternal. Where are (were) they available? Except for twice the normal price on Ebay.

I'd check the Fred Miranda forums...I've bought and sold there with great results. The going rate beyond the retail market is likely to be north of $200, a premium you pay for the convenience of getting it quickly, I'm afraid.

I'm on B&H's mailing list about the Big Stopper. They faithfully send me an email every two weeks saying no stock.
I posted on Lee's FB page, and their reply is, "yep, we the stoppers are on short supply."
ebay sellers are adding, at least the ones I've seen, are adding $200 to the retail $140 price.

FYI, I just called them and placed an order even though it's not in stock...so hopefully I'll get one from the next batch. If you want to get one from them, this is probably the way to go so you don't have to keep an eye on it all the time.

I got mine from 2filters.com and waited maybe only 2 weeks. Their prices are very good and way better than the prices on eBay. They don't charge your card until it ships so if you find one earlier you can just cancel the order.
