Nokton 40 1.4 filter question

[KenRothman]

Thanks for all your previous advice... I bought myself an R3A with the Nok 40 1.4 SC at Photo Village this weekend. Cool place, very droolworthy.

Anyway, having bought the SC version of this lens... trying to figure out what to do for a "protection" filter. I'm pretty klutzy and would prefer to keep a "clear" filter on this lens. However, what are my options. It seems silly to put a modern MC filter on this lens when the whole point is the single-coating. Is there a skylight or UV type filter out there somewhere that will match up with the SC?

I suppose I could just forget about it an shoot it "naked" and be more careful. BUT, if anyone can recommend anything... i'd appreciate it.

I use the B+W UV not multicoated version. works fine. Costs about $27.

Keep in mind that all elements (6 groups) are single coated.
I put a modern, MC B+W filter on mine. They also come
single-coated.

I don't keep any filters on my Nokton-40, but I always use the lens hood, which I feel offers good protection.
