B+W Black-and-White filters availability

[James1]

Tried to buy a set of B+W black and white filters recently, unfortunately my dealer told me that their yellow-green filter 060 and blue filter 081 have been discontinued! :bang:

Surprised about the 060, but nevertheless, does anyone know of any dealer running down stock and that would be able to provide 060 and 081 MRC filters in 46mm thread size?

Thanks for any help or info!

If it's available in a larger size and a stepping ring?

Had exactly the same problem. Really worldwide no 060 from B+W in 46 mm.
I mailed Schneider Kreuznach. They saved my day - there is a shop with a large fundus in Germany

Got my B+W 060 46 mm two days later.

Carsten, thank you - I have emailed them!

Thanks also to rbeimer and landshank for your input. Unfortunately, as Carsten notes, there appear to be almost no 060 filters left, and that includes 2filter. I am already using a step ring so I have one size of filter, so using another even assuming availability, wouldn't be great.

Thanks again to all!

For the record; K2 (yellow) Hoya HMC 46mm has been discontinued, according to my dealer.

I'm pretty much in love with hoya HMC and B+W filters. Haven't had a bad one yet. Its a shame that they are dropping at such a fast rate.
