Age old debate. Personally, when I first started out, I took the advice to use UV filters on all my lenses. Then I started using hoods more and more. Now I don't use UV filters at all, but always, always use a hood. Except for macro when a hood would use up the valuable real estate between lens and subject.

Circular polariser would be useful. Get a good one. Hoya Super Pro 1.

Neutral density filter maybe to kill light so you can use slower shutter speeds to get nice milky, flowing water. Again, get a good one.

If you're building a shopping list, have you got a good tripod? Shutter cable? Lens cleaning gear (rocket blower, lens pens etc)?
