I spoke with the company rep today. I am pleased to say that he was very helpful. Evidently the company was concerned as my billing and shipping address are different. The item I requested is now being shipped as promised. Thank you
I am very pleased with the UV filter kit (with mounting ring) that I bought from NWV Direct. Everything fits and the quality of the filter is excellent. The mounting kit is a split ring, so you only use half of it when you are shooting wide angle shots. This avoids seeing the "sides of the tunnel" when both mounting rings are mounted together. (Caution, you do need to remember not to zoom the lens with the UV filter mounted this way, as the lens will push into the UV filter.) When shooting in telephoto mode, you attach both rings together and zoom in and out all you want.
The filter brand listed on the web site was a brand I never heard of. I actually got a Vivitar filter, which is a very good aftermarket brand. The rings are made by Bower specifically for Panasonic.
The filter came in its own plastic snap case with a little round pad to help keep the filter from rattling around in the case. I put a little loop of Scotch Tape on the pad to keep it from falling out of the case when I take out the filter.
The filter and mounting ring kit was a reasonable 35 and a half bucks after shipping.
In the future I would like to buy products from them, but I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't work out this time.
I am writing this review because an interesting review was posted for NWVDIRECT by avstar1k100 on 01/05/2011. In the review it is stated that the exact same 2 items I had ordered were purchased by this 'individual' and received immediately more than a month after I had placed my order and was told the items were not available (and still are not). Obviously, this posting was made by the company itself (or a marketing company acting on their behalf) to offset their many negative reviews with a bogus positive review. NWVDIRECT is nothing more than a 'bait and switch' organization advertizing name-brand items (that they probably never even carry) at a lower price than anywhere else and then tries to sell inferior generic items because they are 'out of stock' of the name-brand product(s). A quick review of the New York Better Business Bureau for New World Direct would certainly seem to substantiate this idea (http://www.bbb.org/new-york-city/business-reviews/electronic-equipment-and-supplies-dealers/new-world-video-direct-in-brooklyn-ny-85105/) where they have the lowest possible F rating.
Buyer Beware .......

I am giving them two stars because everything I ordered wasn't in stock and is listed on their website. This is a major problem: you shouldn"t be able to pay for something when they obviously don't have it and probably never will again. I do believe that it is just a method to lure people into a high pressure sales situation. who knows, maybe they do have items that are advertized and actually in stock. I am going to continue my search for lenses elsewhere, probably KEH and Adorama. Try NWV if you must, but don't expect much. I don't think they actively tried to rip me off, but I also wasn't buying anything but a canon lens and would not accept a substitute.
