does a 58mm uv filter for canon t5i fit a Canon t5

I actually have two questions, but this is part one. I'm looking to get uv filters for my t5 lenses to keep them safe. I'm almost sure that a 58mm uv lens will fit on my canon but I want to double check before I order something on line and it will be a hassle to return. Most for the discriptions say for t4i t5i and so on but doesn't say t5, will a uv filter intended to fit a t5i fit a t5.

Part two
One of my cameras is a Canon slr t70 from 1984 I have two lenses from that camera. Just out of curiosity can I fit older leneses on a newer body. I sort of now the answer but want to know if there's a way it is possible, if there's an adapter of sorts. It's just to much money to develop film

The 58mm is your filter size (diameter).  Both of those lenses use a 58mm filter.  So a 58mm filter will fit both lenses.

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

The filter thread diameter is also almost always printed on the inside of the lens cap (since the cap has to grip to the filter threads.)

I use Sensei Filter Stack Caps to store filters.  Check them out online. 

 

These are basically two metal caps that screw onto the front and back of a thread filter, which protects it.  You can "stack" a set of lens filters between the caps, which I find provide MUCH better protection than a filter pouch.  Plus, it consumes less space than a pouch, and they cost less than a pouch. 

 

Caution, they are easy to over-tighten.  Although I have never experienced the problem, once you use them it will quickly see how easy it is to torque them down too far.  A large temperature change later, and now you need a lens wrench.
