The thread size you need is usually imprinted on the inside of the lens cap. By the best that you can afford, Hoya is good.
 
There should be a circle with a line through it (like a greek 'phi'), usually on the front of the lens, often in white lettering!
 
I can't be certain as I have neither lens, but a quick google shows the Sony 18-70 as 55mm and the Minolta as 49mm filter sizes. It will definitely be shown on the front of the lens anyway.

If you don't want to spend a fortune the Kenko MC UV ones are good. If you want the best then Heliopan or B+W.
