So decision is made; D300s with a 16-85VR, a Nikon 60MM macro and the Nikon 70-300 to start with. I want filters and would like to hear what you recommend; a good UV filter (Hoya?) and maybe a polarizing filter?

With digital, there is no need to filter UV. It gets filtered already.



Some (like Wim) use UV filters to "protect" front elements, others (like me) do not believe in that, and rather avoid filters as they can introduce loss of contrast, veiling and ghost light images under circumstances.

I rather protect front elements with lens cap and with hood.



I would advice a B&W pol-filter for the 16-85mm at least.



I still would go for the Tamron 70-300 for sure, it just is the better lens (by some margin).
