Yep - that's the one I'd get.  I've got B+W MRC UV filters on all my lenses (mostly F-Pro mounts like this, which if perfect for the 50/1.4, some XS-Pro mount which is thin but with a front thread, for UWA and other lenses prone to vignetting).

Agreed, I only use B&w Pro MRC UV filters on all my glass. There is zero image degradation on my lenses and I always buy the filter when I get a new lens. As soon as the lens is unwrapped the first time, I place the filter on the lens and it will stay there until the end of the filters life. That keeps the front element 100% perfect if I ever need to re-sale and make the lens easier to clean as I just wipe down the filter.

You almost can't go wrong with B&W filters - they feel very solid.

All my lenses are being protected by B&W XS_Pro Slim Clear 007 filter.

I would skip the filter on the 50. I dont use one, but I do on my 85, 24, and 70-200. The 50's front element is far enough back that it is pretty well protected. Plus, you don't get any weather sealing with the filter on the 50 like you do on most L lenses.

Just my 2 cents. :)
