Okay, I know I ask a ton of questions, but just one more for today.
When would I use these specific filters listed below:
58mm~
1. Multi Coated Optical Glass Filter
2. High Resolution Filter
3. Filter BLACK Color
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

what the hell is a high resolution filter? And a black filter=lens cap?
Polarising filters sometimes look black to the naked eye depending on the strength of them..
Can you get us links to the specific products? |

1. ALL filters you use should be multi-coated optical glass, to reduce flare and reflections.
2. In photography, a "high resolution" filter is simply one that is built to high optical standards, as all of category 1 should be. There IS something called a "high resolution filter" but it is used for tuning wavelengths in spectrometry and such, and is not applicable to photography.
3. Makes no sense to me, except that the filter BODY itself (not the glass) is black to reduce reflections, and all of yours should be,.

Much easier if we can look @ them. The 'black' one sounds like it could be a ND filter (Neutral Density) - show 'em if ya got 'em!

I doubt it; it is described as "filter BLACK color", which is no way I have seen of describing a ND filter, but IS a way of describing a black (as opposed to chrome/silver) filter.
