Kenko and Marumi seem good value for money. B&W slip under the radar, occasionally.
Take your pick and keep a look out on ebay. Dealers sometimes get old-new stock in. And on ebay, people look at their filters with soft tinted spectacles and they can not see the minor imperfections the keen photographer sees. So if you want mint, my advice is to buy new.

The reason you can not find one is that the smallest Pro1 CPL Hoya make is the 52mm.
I tend to use Kenko pro1 CPLs and have been pleased with them
The 49mm is available at a very good price here

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Personally I either use a square system (Cokin/Kood) or buy in 77mm and use stepping rings. That way I only need to buy one of each.

But those are large though and a 49mm filters aren't expensivePersonally I either use a square system (Cokin/Kood) or buy in 77mm and use stepping rings. That way I only need to buy one of each.
They also fit on most Pentax lenses

I had thought of usesing stepping rings ..But i thought it could be a bit awkward with a lens hood...As Stefan said they are not that expensive..and this is the only lens i use that has a 49mm thread..
