[QUOTE="GO-N DEF, post: 2658589, member: 564681"] I'm pretty sure Heresy was right, it uses a 58mm Filter. Here is B&H Photo's [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=6222&A=details&Q=&sku=371191&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation"]Rebel XT[/URL] and the [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=351554&is=USA&addedTroughType=search"]lens that comes with it[/URL]. I have the Canon 30D and a Nikon N65. Most of my lenses use 58mm filters. And I keep a UV filter on every one. Its a lot less expensive to replace a scratched filter than a scratched lens! 58mm is pretty much the most common size for your standard lenses. To add a little more on polarizers, they also can help make a blue sky a little more rich in color and, as you rotate them, they can make some clouds dissappear. That, and taking away glare as Hersey mentioned, has to do with the filter only allowing light to enter from one angle so it blocks out alot of extranious light. You can make water appear almost invisible or completely reflective. The same goes for glass (even with a a slight mirrorized tint)... [/QUOTE]
