Default UV filter?

I'm a dork, and confused. There's a million filters and I just want one that will protect my lens. I usually use the 55-200mm......so I don't know what size to get. errrr...help?

Do you have the box for the lens? It'll say what size filter you need.
I don't have my camera here so I can't remember if the filter size is printed on the lens itself as well.

The filter (and hood size) is on the lens. If you look on your lens there will be a bunch of gibberish. Your filter size will have a little circle symbol with a vertical slash on it. On my Tamron it is right after the lens size and on my Canon zoom lens it is all by its lonesome on the outer rim.

Amy it should say right on your lens, right on the front of it....it will have a small circle with a line right through the middle and then it will have a number with mm after it!!! Like the kit lens for Canons are 58mm. HTH!!!
