Go down to Classic Camera on 118th Avenue and 125th Street, and talk 
to Mike.  They have boxes and boxes of filters of every type and 
description.  DON'T call, as they'll probably just say "we don't have it" 
because they're *not* gonna do your searching for you.  Besides, 
"dumpster diving" in Classic is darned fun!  :-)

Btw, tell them "Chris the Olympus Nut" sent you.  It won't get you a 
better price, but *I* might score some points!  :-)))

Regards,

Chris

P.S.  The nice thing 'bout Cokins is that you don't have copies of the 
same filter for each lens size, just the lens ring.  And, comparatively 
speaking, the lens rings are cheap.  So, if you have lots of different lens 
diameters, going Cokin can be cost effective.  Classic also has boxes of 
Cokin "A" rings, holders and filters.  Not much for the "P" series, though.
