In fact you don't even want that! If you have any clear filters in front of any lenses you have .. get rid of them. Use them as temporary lens caps, cup coasters or whatever .. but not on the lens whilst you are taking photos.
OK, so the 58mm is the size of the lens that needs to be covered, not the part that connects to the camera itself!!!! Right. That makes alot of sense. So with this new knowledge, it appears I can have any lens as long as it is compatible with my Canon 500D!

If you had a spare $1000 to throw at the issue, you may even like the new Tamron 18-400mm lens too.
I've just been browsing some info about this lens, and at 200mm it looks very usable.
At 400mm it's OK-ish .. for displaying the entire frame, but you wouldn't want to crop any image shot at 400mm too much. [/QUOTE]
This is what I was looking at, was just bummed that it didn't come in my camera size
