I want a 77mmm UV filter to protect my lens. The B+W 77mm MRC (010) UV Filter is what I'm plannig to get, but it's very expensive. Is there any other good brands? I don't mind getting the B+W, because it's good investment especially when the lens costs much more. However If there's a cheaper and same/better quality alternative that would help me a lot. Thanks for your adive.

I've heard good feedback about the Hoya SHMC UV filter.

There is no need to place extra glass over your lens protect it. If anything, that extra glass will do more harm than good in a drop situation.

More glass, especially cheap filters just degrades image quality. Didn't your lens come with a lens hood? That will do much better at protecting the actual lens element.
