Why do you want a filter in the first place ? It will just degrade IQ - especially if it's a cheap one and the expensive ones like B&H are very exe for that size. I did have this lens and did buy a "cheap" UV filter and it was not a good look

......I have the filter for this lens and it is for sale.......

had this lens a while back, for about 3 months, great lens, but exchanged it for a 300mm prime which suited my needs better........

......so one left over UV filter, to fit 120-300 mm 2.8 Sigma........ now for sale plus postage

I have no experience with their 'clear' filters but I got a cheap IR filter from these guys (not 105mm)

A bunch of Canon stuff (including Canon & Sigma lenses). Way more gear than talent.
