Well, Hoya are the makes make at the moment.

On my 300 4.5, Ive got a 72mm Hoya UV(0) - standard for this type of lens I 
should imagine.

Though, I will use this lens for nature photography, like birds and so-forth. 
Therefore to bring out colours, such as the sky and taking the shine off leaves 
making them greener, a 72mm Circular Polariser is a must to me. There about AUD 
$75 each in OZ, but I get them for about 50 - but thats still expensive if you 
ask me!

If you really want to get carried away, warming filters can be added - but may 
cost you an arm and a leg. 

Check them out in local shops for second hand filters in good nick (watch out 
for grit stuck around the parameter of the filter glass and metal ring). 

Good luck
