Hi Debash, OPTCORP does not reflect the sale price on their website. How did you get the sale price? I might be interested in getting it too. =)

But Debash, I surfed OPT website, it is stated as USD$99.95 for the 2" version and USD$79.95 fro the 1.25" version for Ultrablock

. They will only send to a USA address as well. I know Amazon is selling the 2" Ultrablock for $80 though

.

I am looking for a 2" edition as I am thinking of using a 2" telescope camera adapter

. 1.25" already cut down nearly 10% of the usable frame of a 35mm flim (32mm on a 36x24mm film), if you include of the buffer of the 1.25" filter which is another 10% gone.

hehehehe..... I might even want to try A-Focal with Medium format camera since a film size for medium format camera is 56mm x 56mm, or 48mm x 48mm effective size

..... The latitiude of a medium format film is higher then of 35mm format (due to size) and I am quite sure I can capture more details with it

.

No problem with most digital camera when used with 1.25" camera, since the CCD are normally APS-C sized.

sorry for the interruption, but OPT does not ship to Singapore? I get stuff from them now and then.

OPT do, but Orion don't.

..... I have to send items to Vpost for things from USA to Singapore which does not accept orders from overseas. I was thinking along the line where Orion ship out the filter directly

Yes, for Orion, if you ship to your VPOSTUSA address, which is in California, you will incur additional taxes.

From Amazon, it's actually shipped direct from Orion, so they don;t ship international too ... =(
I guess our best bet is to get it from OPT and email them for the sale price. I emailed them - waiting for reply.
BlurBLock. if they've got the sale price, you wanna order together? Might save on shipping ... sad thing is they don't have the OIII fitler - I was thinking of getting that! =)

Sure, why not

.... if you want to use my V-Post

... I can do it too

.

You can get the Celestron other brands of Oxygen III filter from them as well

I've actually got another shipment from Vpost on the way. So if I get the UHC within the next 2 days I would wanna consolidate. Let me know if you want. =)

Blurblock, you tell them that Orion is offering the filters on sale (which is a fact) and OPT will match Orion's price - this one's simple. They said that USPS airmail insured shipping to Singapore is US$ 21 (!!!!), and they gave 20% discount on that...this lady Rayna Roberts is generally quick to reply and sometimes agrees to lower the price upon bargaining.
