Hoya Lenses on Ebay....genuine?

[tarmac_chaser]

I'm after a cheap 67mm Hoya DMC Pro1 filter, but are they genuine?

The price seems to vary from £20 from ones located in Hong Kong, to £30 for UK based ones

I wondered that too, I was watching a Pro1D 72mm circular polariser this week, for £35+£3 shipping. Both the description and the picture seemed genuine enough, and there was no neg feedback relating to the product...

It sold buy it now so I'm going to keep an eye on the feedback both ways and I'll let you know.

Thanks. Also, checking seller feedback, would anyone actually know what to look for in a fake? It's not a really sophisticated product, the technical part is more in the materials than the construction so in theory easy to replicate?

These guys sell genuine ones as I (and a few others on here) have ordered filters from them without any problem http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZhkdirect
