Unfortunately I haven't found this filter in any of the usual places. Is
it spendy?

That may be what I will have to do. I did find the Tiffen kit of 4
filters in 43mm size. Kit includes CP, UV 812 and enh. The MC B+W
doesn't seem to be available as a slim in 43mm and I don't have any
extra 43mm housings as I've never used that size before. Maybe i could
order the B+W in a standard housing which @ 6mm should work well.
