[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 299058, member: 13076"] Hoya makes very good filters. A UV or 1A is fine. I use the Hoya HMC Super. The better filters will have multi-coating to reduce reflections/glare. Also, with a D5300's resolution, you would be compromising its image quality by going with such a long zoom Tamron. There are certainly affordable Nikon zooms including second hand. And why such a large zoom range? Why not a mid-to-standard and then a standard to long zoom? Such a long zoom range compromises image quality even further, so much so that you might as well have a 1st gen D200 instead of the latest D5300. A Nikon 18-105mm DX lens is going to be better quality than a Tamron zoom and here's an example of a used deal for $170: [url=http://www.uniquephoto.com/used/nikon-nikkor-af-s-18-105-f-3-5-5-6g-ed-vr-dx-lensused2179/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=paid_search_google_pla&scid=scplp2756261]Nikon NIKKOR AF-S 18-105 F/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX Lens (USED - GOOD) | Used Photo Equipment | Nikon at Unique Photo[/url] You could then get an 18-55mm ED II for about $120. And that is one of Nikon's best zoom lenses (it has both an ED element and an aspherical element). Together they would be around 2/3 the cost of the Tamron 18-270 new. As for a polarizing filter, do you want circular or linear? Also do you want it to cut down reflections or to be able to shoot wide open in bright light? [/QUOTE]
