UV filters for Canon Lenses
#4
Then yeah, filters of that size will fit. 

If you think of UV filters "protecting" your lens, though, a few points:
  • It is much easier to clean accidental finger smudges off a curved front element than a flat slab of filter glass
  • Lens hoods provide impact protection, filters (thin slabs of glass) don't so much
  • Filters break much easier than lens elements. If a filter breaks, it is liable to scratching your front element.
  • If you drop a lens on a filter, it will probably damage the filter thread, and/or be very difficult to get it off the lens.
Unless you are in special conditions, I advice to just use the lens hood to protect the lens, and the lens cap when not actually using the lens/camera. I never use "protective" filters, and do not have any scratched front element.
