Get a GOOD UV filter - it is going to be on your lens most of the time. I
suggest Hoya Multicoats or SuperMulticoats - they are reasonably priced and
top quality.

Hoya multi-coated filters are almost impossible to keep clean. Avoid.

Some people claim the German made filters are less likely to
stick on lenses - I've never had a filter stick on a lens and don't feel
like spending four times as much for the "extra assurance" they claim the
brass rings give.

Shop around for the best prices, and you have no need to pay four
times more.
