can anyone recommend me a relatively cheap polarizer/filter to protect the glass on this but not degrade the IQ

Circular polarizers are not cheap in general, especially those of high quality. I used a Tiffen CPL with very nice results - Hoya and B&W filters were much too expensive for me then.


Best wishes,

so these can be screwed on and left on as well as still being able to put on my lens cap. is there much difference in IQ between havin 1 on and not. i'd rather lose slight IQ than damage the glass. al check out the tiffen 1's thanks

If you want a filter for protection - use UV, they are cheaper.

I'd recommend using the hood if all you want is protection. UV filters on wide angle lenses can increase flare when shooting into a strong light source.

Sigma btw makes high quality UV and Polarizer filters now.
