After reading around, I found these two filters and I was wondering if both of them are decent as to not cause much distortion in quality. I do not wanted to spend a lot on these filters so I am looking for a good compromise:
B+W 77mm UV 010 Haze Filter Coated NEW F-PRO

HOYA 77mm UV(0) SUPER HMC MULTI-COATED HAZE FILTER

Thanks!

Yes, they're both very good filters. Personally, I'm partial to B+W. But get used to spending a fair amount of money for a good filter, because the cheap ones will cause problems. And remember this: "No filter is better than a crappy filter".

+1 on maxsavers.net to save on filters. Usually takes 10-14 days to get your order from them.

Check 2filters (http://www.2filters.com/). They are an authorized dealer for B + W filters, and you can get any good brand name filter at very good prices. Check them against Adorama, another AD for price. They're also located in New Hampshire, not Hong Kong (maxsavers) if there is ever an issue.
There is a lot of discussion here about maxsavers and whether their filters are sourced differently from those sold in the US. Do a search here on them. FYI.

The B+W filter you linked to isn't their multi-coated one. You want this one (http://maxsaver.net/B-W-77mm-MRC-UV-010-Filter-NEW-F-PRO-Multi-Coated-Alloy.aspx) instead.
