Whether or not you need a UV/Protecting filter on your expensive glass is a topic that is debated endlessly on photographic forums. There are those who think that it is silly to put a cheap piece of glass in front expensive glass (it can only reduce the contrast/quality of the picture right?). And there are others who think that it is a lot better to scratch/get dirty/lick(?) a cheap piece of glass than a $2000 lens.

Either way, as far as filters go, the Hoya HD filters are really nice. They are multi-coated and easy to clean. Unlike the cheap filters out there, they are made of real glass. And if you are somewhat brave, they can be had for somewhat decent prices from sellers in HK. Definitely worth getting. I have several of them (including 2 at the 77mm filter size)

I know this is a pricy filter, however, the first filter I got with my 24-105mm f/4L canon lens had a noticeable negative impact on the quality of my pictures. The first filter was free with the purchase of the lens. I guess you get what you pay for! I have not noticed and significant impact to the pictures with this filter, well worth the extra money to protect your lens.

I use this baby on my 17-55mm f/2.8g and on my 70-200 f/2.8 also and it is a wonderful filter. It does a nice job preventing glare in your photos. It also serves as a protector for your lens and cleans so easily. I never take mine off, unless I am shooting at night. Hoya's HD (Hardened Glass) filters are really the cream of the crop. Doesn't get any better than this.
