Hi Peter, Congrats, the "L" club is highly addictive. Go out and shoot with it a few minutes and you will be planning the next lens to add to your quiver. As far as filters go the very nice B+W are technically fantastic filters. The B+W UV filters introduce nothing to an image that I can detect even on slow chrome films. I've got a several B+W filters myself but the cost of B+W for those of us with a reasonable amount of glass (14 optics with 5 "L" class lenses), is just too high to put a B+W on every lens. So after doing some research and testing on film and on a mkII 1Ds I have now standardized on Hoya's SHMC line of UV filters and only use the B+W's for color correction or manipulation.
