Contax t3 P filter

[Captain Kidd]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help, I'm trying to find a P filter (protective filter) for a contax t3 and if ebay is anything to go by they seem very rare, what might make it more rare is I'm after one in black.

Are these as rare as they seem? Anyone might have one for sale?

Thanks for any help and tips

If you don't mind another brand, 2filters.com can help you.

Thanks for that link but I would rather try get a contax original, not sure if that's a possible pursuit.

I'm assuming that you have the T3 30.5 adapter to use filters? There is a P filter on EBAY (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CONTAX-P-Fi...048690?hash=item23691831f2:g:ensAAOSwLs5XLBfE), but the price is breathtaking. Quite a few actually, but not in black.

Wow, I just bought a somewhat non-functional TVS for less than what that eBay filter costs, and it had a nice Ti finish P filter included. Didn't know the filters were that rare...

KEH.com? Try putting up a WTB here in the classifieds or at FredMiranda or APUG?

Yeah I do have the adaptor, it actually had a filer screwed into it and it embarrassingly took me a while to realise the what I had was actually in two parts. That filter is $28, is that very expensive?

Prices on Ebay are all over the map, but I've seen them for around $12, but in the titanium finish. Black is rare and priced accordingly.
