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

Yhanks for the feedback filter is for outer element only and I am aware of the possibility of image denegration--cheers-jim

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