Might have the old Asahi filters - need to check colours as I've never used them

What's wrong with Hoya ones? Hoya owned Pentax for a time before Ricoh purchased the brand and indeed Hoya stiil own the Pentax medical equipment division. The Hoya equivalent to SMC would be HMC. eg:

Best source would probably to ask a second hand camera shop where they're likely to have a box full to sort through.

Nothing wrong with Hoya ones! Just a personal preference for Pentax SMC ones. I've got both Hoya and Pentax SMC skylight filters and 'for some reason' prefer the Pentax ones. Not really based on any logical reason - they feel heavier and (to me) look better with my Pentax glass. Pentax SMC filters seem harder to find and if I can't get any, I'll get Hoya.

Do you just need yellow or do you need any others?
In 49mm, I have Y1, Y2, YG, O2 and R2. All Asahi Pentax but non SMC
In 52mm. Y2, O2 and R2. These are the SMC versions, Should have the cases somewhere and maybe even the boxes for the 52mm filters.

I think I messed this up before, so here goes. Just wondering if Kim C still has those filters, the 49mm ones?
Thanks

Not overly concerned whether they come in boxes or cases, as long as not scratched!
Payment via PayPal preferred.
Please PM if you have any of these filters that you'd like to sell.
Cheers,
Jake
