Glass Filter
What are the use of glass filter (for the digital cameras) especially the Black filter?
Do I need that on my Canon 350D?
I am only using the provided 18 – 55mm lens. THANKS
Thanks! antoni.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! for exerting extra effort in sharing your knowledge. 
Hi
the “black” one is a polarizer they are for removing glare and reflections and make blue skys richer and the clouds stand out more
example of polarizer shot
http://flickr.com/photos/martini2005/1841374596/ – its like a sunglasses effect
EDIT: you might mean ND filters, but i dont think so, if you are they are for reducing the light the sensor/film recieves so slower shutter speeds can be used
EDIT2: vance and Dr Sam have answered you well, Masons emotive answer proves he knows very little about photography, doubt he owns a polarizer or knows how to use one…….vance or sam for best me thinks
