UV filter for Tamron 17-50 VC?
#10
There isn't any significant practical difference between them. I tend to go for UV myself as they are easier to find.



On that note, as a specific example, the Hoya 72mm UV( c) HMC filter (if I got the right size) is around £15 at amazon UK, and if you click through their ad that sometimes appears at the top of the forum I believe the site gets a little credit too. I don't know if anywhere else has it cheaper though.



While here, I dug out my own filter reflection coating test. It only covers some Hoya samples I have so is by no means complete.
