I have a Canon G5 and the LA-DC58B conversion lens adapter. I would like to
get a circular polarizer filter for the camera. Would a 58mm filter atach
to this adapter like a lens does so I could use it with the regular lens?
If so do I need to use a Canon filter or is there a better value? Thanks

I'm not familiar with the camera and adapter you describe, but a
58-mm-diameter filter will have 58-mm male threads on one side and female
threads on the other side, so you can stack accessories.

There's no particular reason to prefer Canon brand... Canon is not a "big
name" in filters. Hoya, Heliopan, and B+W are, and so is Nikon. A
multicoated filter is preferred, but not absolutely necessary with a
polarizer because the polarizer itself absorbs enough light that internal
reflections won't be a big problem. Tiffen is the big economy-price brand
of filters (uncoated as far as I know; they just haven't changed since the
1940s when everything was uncoated).
