You are much better scratching a £25.00 UV filter than the end of a £300.00 lens. It is also worth looking into getting a Polariser Lens at some point, one of us can go through the how to use process with you. They will give really saturated colours when used correctly (I used a polariser in my El Capitan picture) which really makes the blue sky and the reds really punchy. Polarisers are a bit more expensive than UV Filters, they start at about £45 - £50. A good one will cost you about £160.00 as I found out  but again, you are paying for better quality glass. |
Just to add to that, if you're starting out there no need to spend too much on top quality filters. I picked up a Hoya UV filter for less than a fiver and a Hoya polarising filter for about £14 - both on ebay and both brand new sealed items. Not sure how good a brand Hoya is, but they've done me alright considering they're cheap
