I was shopping locally for a Hoya R72 IR filter for my camera... Quoted
between $98 and $140 canuckbux.

Got one from a camera shop somewhere in Montana via eBay for $40.31
Canadian, shipping in.

I did something similar for an 82mm UV filter I needed. Those things
are not cheap, but I got one for $45 delivered, instead of $110 from
B&H. There's no place locally to buy that size filter...I think I
could have gotten it in Charlottesville, which is about 2-1/2 hours
each way.
