Two places I'd recommend:
http://www.coasttocoastcamera.com/Default.htm
(I bought mine there, ~$65)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/
(not as wide, but cheaper, ~$50)

I'm satisfied with what I got.  It has several different diameters of 
threads on it and an adapter ring for more sizes.  Tell the salesman what 
diameter the filter threads are on the front of your camera (usually marked 
near the opening preceeded by the "phi" symbol) and they'll set you up with
the right thing.

Best of luck!
