Jim Timpe answered the polarizer question. As for filter use / lens
protection I would suggest a 1A sunlight, or even perhaps a 1B sunlight
ahead of a UV filter. A 1A or 1B offers significant UV filtration as well as
having a certain warming effect, a la an 81A filter,  which can be important
when shooting colour slides.
