[DSLR] Which lens UV/Polarizer filter should I get?

Asked by x3m (36points) April 20th, 2010

I’m not here asking for opinions or to have people tell me what I should do different. I just want to know, from people that have some sort of experience with SLRs and/or these brands, which would be the best option for a simple UV filter to keep on my new Canon T2i (550D) kit?

I have the same doubt with the polarizer lens: I’m in doubt between a Tiffen, a Hoya and a Sunpak. Which to choose?

[OBS: Although the UV/Polarizer are from the same brand, some are from different lines of product etc. So check the links if you can.

I guess, if someone wants to suggest a better option, from Amazon or Newegg (including Amazons retailer partners), under $20, that would be ok to…

Thanks a LOT for any help :D
