Have you tried simply calling a camera dealer? That's where I've
bought them over the years.

You might try contacting Bogen, Lee, and or Roscoe. They all make gel
filters, I don't know offhand if they make exact wratten replacements.
If you're trying to use this for a black and white preview filter you
might try Calumet, they make a very nice one. For that matter Calumet
markets their own brand of gel filter, or at least they used to.

Tina,

(1) A couple of years ago Silverprint in London had the Wratten 90 in
their catalogue for UKP 14.69 inclusive of VAT. I have no more recent
catalogue, but Silverprint are a dedicated b&w supplier who have
recommended their use for years, so it's worth a try. Phone
44-20-7620-0844; fax 44-20-7620-0129.

(2) You might also try Lee Filters and Hi-Tech Filters, both UK firms
who make 100mm square polyester filters in a wide range of shades.
Sorry, no contact details but a web search should find them.

Let us know if you find some, others might be interested.

I called Calumet and ordered their equivalent one with the holder box thingy
(Idon't have a picture of it) but they DID have One #90 Wratten filter left
in their inventory $15.00 (filter only) and their price for theirs was
$24.95 plus shipping I think (I didn't ask about shipping charges I just
ordered it ..period ) and they were 2 weeks backordered on this particular
item... their web site is http://www.calumetphoto.com (1-800-225-8638) you
can order online too so if anyone wants one...go here...I'm a happy
camper...;-)
