You are welcome, Mr Kenchan. A decent polarizing filter is valuable to have. Also when you get your camera get a UV filter for your lens(es) and keep it on all the time. It is fine glass and does not impact resolution or clarity in any appreciable way. However, if you bump the lens into something, it is better to take out a 20 dollar filter than a multi-hundred dollar lens.

Oh, so I need a circular polarizer and a UV filter.
Is this one ok for polarizer? (I am looking at B&H)

B+W -(11 reviews) 52mm Circular Polarizer Multi-Resistant Coated

I would use the polarizer over the UV filter?

So the UV stays on all the time. Use the polarizer only when you need it -- around water or glare. It is like putting on high quality sunglasses like the RayBan Clubmaster or RayBan Caravan that I prefer.

Yes, you screw the polarizer onto the already mounted UV.

That's the story.

Aha! Thank you again. Now it is starting to make sense to me.

I suppose I am old school (I have 50 years on me) and I am unsure about the Rockwell reference.

Yah, very soon. I just want to sit on it for a few days to be sure the excitement doesn't wear off. Wheel curbage replacement for the Z and new tires for the G were easy no brainers for me to decide but camera... I don't want to buy it and later not use it.

total cost $595 shipped.
