Are these mostly for film cameras and not digital, if I'm using mostly for protection, would not the cheaper Tiffens suffice, whats the difference?

In general a color conversion (warm or cooling) filter is just that regardless of camera or lens it is placed in front of. I sometimes use it when taking shots of sunsets/sunrises with my D7000. If you want a lens strictly for protection then get the best quality crystal clear lens possible-no distortion or color shift at all. If you are relatively careful a protection lens will not be necessary. Remember you will need one for each size diameter lens you own unless you buy step up/down rings. Most actual lenses are recessed (not all) so scratching it rare.

No they are for canon only. They do have a version for Nikon available through amazon as well.

If you are taking snapshots with a DSLR then almost any UV filter can protect the lens. I prefer to spend minimal time in post production and typically purchase B&W; because they seem to have the best coatings and glass. Some less expensive filters will produce strange distortions and colors in photographs.

It was designed for film, but works perfectly fine for a digital slr. I used it for quite a few years on both film and then on a 30D. The focal length is affected slightly, but that's about it. I'm sure somebody with a really sharp eye could point out differences, but I certainly couldn't detect anything.

I use on a Hasselblad CFV-50 digital back. They last 1/2 day if upswing full time. They last up to a week if I'm taking a few pictures a day.

These are indoor cameras. I recommend against using them outdoors, especially since Foscam makes outdoor versions that are similarly priced.

That depends a great deal on what format you're recording them in, (JPG, TIF, or the camera's RAW format, etc.) and at what resolution you're shooting.

DSLR photos are better due to the technology. Look at photos taken by others against a digital with plastic lens and you will see for yourself. You be the final judge.

I recently purchased an XT myself. My understanding is that if your not making posters, those 2 MP are not worth the difference in price. In all the research I did (and I did a lot), most everyone has said save your money for the lenses. A good lens is what's really going to make the difference in photography with the Canon Rebel.

these would be too thick for me to work with an SLR, but not impossible. I would look for a 2mm glove and balance the warmth/mobility advantage. For point and shoot cameras, these would work well. I use them on the water with a small camera.

I had no issues swapping between digital/film cameras as far as mounting the lens, but don't have any film to test image - I don't think there would be any difference.

I don't miss the IS. Uses are pretty much any time you have to slow shutter speed to the point that camera shake is evident. I shoot portraits without IS and I'm very happy. Maybe I have a steady hand but more likely I have adequate settings and lighting. If you don't do any flash photography, or plan to shoot frequently in mostly dimly lit areas, perhaps you will need the IS. Personally, I'm glad I saved the money. I know nothing of the 2x extenders.

T2i isn't dustproof either... If your worried about serious amounts of dust, you should buy L lenses and a XXD or XD frame (e.g. 30D frame, 5D frame, etc). If you can't afford a weather resistant frame, you probably shouldn't worry about getting weather resistant glass...

I don't think there is a difference. I'd recommend getting the yellow tinted ones however if you're going to be shooting outside. I've got em and they work great

Yes, it is quite specifically for the lens that comes with the camera. The Fujifilm lenses use coatings on their glass that do things like cutting out UV light that can degrade the image. Consequently there is no need to add additional UV protection. The Fujifilm filter does just what the name implies - it protects the lens from dirt and finger prints without any optical distortion. It is just a small circle of clear, clean, easily cleanable glass that will keep your lens clean and safe. Make sure you get the right size filter for the lens you intent to use it on. There are currently 3 sizes in use over the 5 available lenses. Yes, it is quite specifically for the lens that comes with the camera.

Somewhere I read that the DGX version has better anti-reflective coatings than the DG version...supposedly better for digital cams. Whether that is true or not I do not know...

I use these on all my digital cameras & did when my digital was new & 285 was very old. They tell you this to try to sell you an expensive flash to that camera ie canon to canon, Nikon to Nikon ... it's all BS use it don't worry it works very well & have had the same 2 cameras for over 3 years now & use them a lot.
