These are great for applying one filter to several different lens sizes. You can find virtually every size of Stepper Rings on Amazon or B&H.

    That was great thanks! I am going to buy one soon. I pick up my T2i tomorrow!

    If you are taking requests on what topics to cover next, for me that would be about ISO. Since the shutter speed is locked down and the F stop is as low as possible, how does ISO fit in to this?
