So you have just got a new lens and you want to throw it in your kit bag and go and test it out - but wait... before you do anything there is one essential accessory that you must purchase - and this is it.
You spent hundreds on a new lens so why not spend a bit more to protect that lens from scratches, smudges and any nasty stuff floating about? I'm an old-school photographer coming from the days of film and when I was taught photography one of the first lessons was, always use a UV filter. There were two reasons: one to remove a tint from the pictures and secondly to protect the lens. Nowadays the first reason no longer exists with digital cameras but the second one is, for me, still an absolute rule. There are a few reasons why you might want to take the filter off (e,g, to avoid rare ghosting or flares in bright light) but otherwise, for me, the UV filter is on 24/7. To put it simply, I would rather have the filter scratched or suffering from weather (water spots, sand or dust scratches, etc.) which can be cleaned or thrown away than having a compromised much more expensive lens.
So, having decided that this filter is an essential the next question must be, "which brand?"
You can spend £5 or you can spend 10 times the amount (actually, you can even spend 20x) and within those prices there are lots of different price points with lots of different qualities. Hoya is one of "the" names in filters, a tried and tested brand that can be trusted to deliver good quality products. After recently purchasing two new lenses I turned to Hoya for the front-end layer of protection that I wanted.
The result was me buying two of these filters at a great price - currently discounted by 30% which just sweetened the deal. They arrive in a hard case which is an extra bonus because if you do need to take the filter off you have a snap-close case in which to store it. The filter is crystal-clear (of course) and threaded top and bottom so that it is possible to stack filters even if that is not always recommended.
Do I recommend this filter? Oh yes, so much so that I have a Hoya polarizing filter on order as I type this review. To protect your lens this is a really good deal which I would order again in a heartbeat. Good quality too.

Amazing value here on Amazon. No brainer.
These pictures of my dirty oven on a wonky set of books show how optically good this filter is. Aperture, focal length, ISO identical. Only the shutter speed changes between shots. The pictures are cropped in 200% so you can see more detail than is necessary.
No filter: 1.4 s shutter speed
This protector: 1.5 s (0.1 stops less exposure), ended up even sharper than the pic without filter (probably just dodgy focusing), no colour tint
Hoya circular polariser + protector: 3.2 s (needed an extra 0.5 stops exposure in post, so effectively 4.5s), slight blue tint. Circular polariser was set at a random angle as it didn't make much difference to the shot.

Good protection with no noticeable affect on image quality. Given the price of the lens its on it's a bargain!

This filter is intended to protect the front element of the lens without affecting colour. It does the job perfectly in my opinion. I've not banged the lens yet so don't know how robust it is but, being Hoya, I guess it'll do its job

I've been using them for years. Reasonable price and good quality. These days more for protection than image quality.
