UNK mentioned that he want to protect the lens first and that the lens will be used for surfing pics. My guess would be that he's going to need the fastest shutter speed possible. Now having the lens he has, I suspect that the maximum aperture when zoomed to the longest length will not be more than 5.6 or 6.3. If you add a polarizer, you'll loose at least 1-1.5 stop. This could very well prevent good and fast autofocus.For this reason, I'd suggest just a haze or uv filter. They would be the cheapest to get (compared with the polarizer anyway).</blockquote>
