Two weeks ago I purchased 2 Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 TTL On-Camera Round Flash Speedlights (1 for Canon and 1 for Sony). I received a shipment from Adorama on Nov 14. but it only contained the Sony unit. I checked the shipping and it said both were shipped in 1 box which. I checked UPS and the box weighed 2.7 lbs - each unit weighs 1 lb 2oz without all the materials in it. I weighed the boxed the unit comes in excluding the shipping box and it weighed 2.5 lbs so with the shipping box it weighs more. I deduced from the weight that they only shipped 1 unit.

I called up Adorama on Monday, on 11/16 (their customer service is not open on Sundays) to report the missing unit and cancel it as it would not come in time for when I needed it. They were suppose to give me credit, but have not. They have emailed me and keep on saying that they have to check with the ware house and they need 2 more days. They told me that the credit would be issued by last night, but I still have not received the credit. Be caareful when dealing with Adorama.

My only alternative is to dispute the charge when the bill comes in.

Tonight is clear and I am doing some night sky photography. Its 37 degrees, so have taken the camera and filter outside for 20 minutes to allow temperature equilibration to avoid fogging. Set up the camera, took a half hour sequence of shots, no problem with fogging. Added a screw-on light pollution filter and within 10 minutes, the filter, not the camera lens, is badly fogged up on the surface facing the lens. What do you think the solution might be? The filter is the Hoya Starscape filter. It does a great job of reducing light pollution.

I'm looking to acquire some neutral density filters (non graduated) and need some info/recommendations on brands.

I know B&W are excellent, but pricey. Have used Hoya filters in the past (for B&W film) with good results. I noticed ICE has a three filter set at an attractive price, but I know nothing about them. Not yet very versatile in post processing so don't need filters that introduce color casts, etc. Have read enough to decide to steer clear of variable ND filters.

Any comments pro/con or recommendations will be most welcome.
