I am planning to get a multi-coated clear filter (as protection for the lens) that will fit perfectly for the x10 instead of the adapter/lenshood combo

I am ordering a 'Marumi 40mm Clear Multicoated Filter' and wondering that there must be other x10 users out there that might want one as well so that we can share the shipping costs.

Check out this website (in the middle of the page)

website for marumi filter online shop

This filter is smaller, complete sealed, and won't block much of the OVF compared to the lenshood.

Price without shipping
Marumi 40mm Clear Filter for the Fuji X10 $17.80
Marumi 40mm Clear Multicoated Filter for the Fuji X10 $26.62


Just sent an email to 2filter.com to inquire about the shipping costs and approximate time it will take to arrive, will update you all again if there are any interests

Included to share the shipping costs
1) ahtiven
2) aquos

Below is the reply i got :

Hi Chris,

The Shipping cost would be $15.31, the first shipment of these are expected in a few weeks.


Thank you,

Aquos, are you sure the price you quoted was inclusive of product and shipping costs? because the reply i got would mean shipping cost alone is 15.31 US dollars (shipment to malaysia) im ok even if it's just the 3 of us, only around RM20 for shipping cost each, i can accept that, since it's impossible to find any in Malaysia, i heard the Marumi distributors told a camera shop owner that they are not planning to bring in any of the 40mm filters to our shores (the 40.5mm only screws halfway in). Let me know if you guys are ok with the shipping costs, if no one else is interested, we can place the order in the next few days. Im assuming you both want the multicoated filters.. might as well get the best ones if we are going to go through all this trouble.

btw, i stay in Petaling Jaya area, we can discuss much later about how to collect the goods

so Aquos, if you already have the 46mm filter , do you still want the marumi 40mm filter? I wonder is it worth it, or should we just get the adapter and 46mm filter for x10


anyway, ahtiven, i have just request to 2filter.com about the exact pricing and shipping costs for 4 filters(me and a friend, ahtiven and aquos)

will post the reply by saturday or friday night =)

aquos and ahtiven,
this is the reply i got from 2filter

We are expecting the shipment to arrive here is 2-3 weeks.

The total for the 4 filters would be $106.48 plus $15.31 for shipping is $121.79

Thank you,

I think what they meant is the product will only arrive at their stores in 2-3 weeks from the exporter. I have calculated and after dividing the total cost by 4, it will cost each person RM91.65 only =) The filter is black not to worry

Actually I have found another forum that someone already placed order for 10 of this marumi filters for x10, but all 10 has takers already and he's from singapore, inconvenient for us to collect anyway. It seems they got a mail that 'the shipment to importer' has been delayed for 2 weeks. Up to you guys if you want to play safe and wait for them to get their shipment first, im sure they will post pictures of the x10 attached with the filter so we can see how it is.

Aquos, let me know if you still want in, seeing that you already have the 46mm adapter filter, i just want to reconfirm.

Also, one more thing, i will be overseas for a month from end of february until 20 march, so if i place the order later, i will only be able to pass it to you guys after 20 march, unless one of you want to place the order instead =)
