Please explain filters for lenses?
what is the difference between a uv/haze,polarized,fluorescent filters? How would I apply them to different situations? Lastly what are some essential filters to have? Thanks!
The only filters you need for a DSLR are:
1) A UV/Haze filter to protect the front element of your lens.
2) A circular polarizer. This filter is used to darken a blue sky and to remove glare/reflections from water, sand, glass, snow and painted metal - but not polished metal.
At some point you might want to add a Neutral Density (ND) filter which is used to get a slower shutter speed. When you're shooting moving water at f16 with ISO 100 on a sunny day and the shutter speed is around 1/100 sec. and you want 1/15 or even 1/8 sec. to blur the water the ND filter will allow you to do so.
Another ND filter is the Graduated which is 1/2 clear while the other 1/2 goes gradually from dark to light. You'd use this when the sky is really blah (overcast) to darken the sky.
Here is a good site to learn about ND filters:

With the white balance feature of a DSLR you don't need a filter for shooting under fluorescent light.
Do NOT waste your money on cheap filters. Buy quality: Heliopan, Hoya, Singh-Ray, Tiffen, B+W.
