Which filter do you reccommend?
I have Nikon D5200 with Tamron 90mm F/2.8 1:1 and I love taking macro pictures. I would like to buy a filter (not more than 27USD - 100 PLN) for this lens but I don't know which one would be the best. Do you have some advices?
Krzysztof Widenka Yes yes, I would like UV filter:)

I have the same lens on my sony A77II. -- I only use a protective (UV) filter...
But... I would recommend to buy extension tubes and go manuel for ultra macro. Or maybe a teleconverter (more expensive...)
Michał If you want to achieve really sharp pictures from a macro lens, don't use any filters ... I have also this lens and only a lens hood is enough to protect.
Daniel Zaleski Using UV filter on a macro lens used for macro shots is imho redundant and as mentioned by others it can lead to some minor optical degradation. UV filters (in digital photography) are normally used as protection of the front element or on some lenses to fully seal the lens against dust and humidity (I know this is even suggested by Canon for some lenses). But if you really take macro photos I would skit and save the money.
Mariusz Rzepkowski In addition to the UV filter you can buy some gray, not very strong, to be able to use a small depth of field when there is a lot of light. If you chose the brand Hoya it will be ok.
Magda Parkitna Yes, I agree. This is a great idea.
Satoshi T I think that using filter is meaningful to protect your lens usually, but you should remove the filter when you shoot macro photo for very serious. I add a hood to block backlight and remove protect filter.
ponzu Don't use a filter for macro. In general, don't use a filter unless you have a specific purpose. Using a UV filter to protect the lens is a common practice, but it is not necessary. If you get the lens dirty, you can clean it easily, and the dirt, even scratches on the front of the lens will not affect your image (unlike the dirt or scratches on the back of the lens). A much better protection of the front element of the lens is a lens hood, such as this bhphotovideo.com/c/product/335... It makes your images more contrasty, prevents most of the stray sun flare, and saves the lens when you drop or bump the camera against a hard surface.

Rafal What kind of filter You want? UV filters are best as protection of the every lenses. I take a lot of macro shot with only UV filters, less glass you use better light entering the camera You have. Same for supertelezooms . For my 150-600 mm I do not use any filters.
