Yes
just aquired this lens and would like a filter , mainly to protect it, but any suggestions / advice appreciated!
mainly shooting plants, insects and fish (through glass).
thanks folks
 
Why not just use the lens hood? You get a lot of working distance with that lens, so little chance of anything making contact.

You don't need a filter IMHO.

why didnt i think of that?
(dont answer that one)
i just assumed it was the "norm" to protect every lens with a filter of some kind!
thanks for the reply , you may have saved me some money;)
 
I have the Sigma 150 and a CPL that will fit, but to be honest I have hardly ever used it. I hope you get to be as happy with yours as I am with mine - it's a cracking lens :)
