My wife has bought me a Sigma 10-20 DC for Christmas but has forbidden me to touch it before then on pain of death! So to occupy myself while I'm waiting, I'm trying to decide on some decent filters for it.
I want a coated UV filter and a CP filter but understand that unless the filter is slim, then it may cause vignetting. How bad is this problem on non-slim filters?
Can anyone please recommend any filters for this that won't break the bank, slim or otherwise? Cheers in advance.

POTN member Lightrules (aka fstopJojo) uses a regular multicoated type on his Sigma. Maybe PM him for the type he has.

Here's (http://www.adorama.com/SG77CPLEXW.html?searchinfo=77mm%20circular%20polar izer%20sigma&item_no=1) the CPL I use on mine. I'm very happy with it.

Cheers for the responses, I have Pm'd lightrules and will look into the Sigma filter from Tony-S's link. Can't wait to try out the lens!

I just got a Hoya Super HMC CP (slim model) for my 10-20 and have taken a few shots with it just playing around in the backyard. Seems to work just fine. It goes for around $125 at Sigma4less (http://www.sigma4less.com).
