Should I get a UV filter to protect this lens? If so what make do you suggest? I am using a hood, I thought it would be useful if I am going somewhere very dry and dusty/sandy? or would you leave it on all the time? There is such a range in prices but I don't want to decrease image quality or increase vignetting and I don't have £60-£100 for a filter.

THere are filter tests by lenstip. the links are at the bottom of this page:

Key is to get a good multicoated one, you can look at Kenko or Hoya digital pro, or Marumi DHG.
good prices can be found at maxsaver.net
