Someone whip me up a demo. My FA 28-200 has an old "Skylight" filter on it. Honest, it makes digital look like film. It's better than any Photoshop type filter I've seen to give you that "film look". Makes you wonder how much of that "film look" was caused by bad filters.

I am much happier with a filter on the front, because sooner or later my greasy fingers get on everything, and I'd much rather it was a filter. I'd be interested in seeing an actual test that would demonstrate how much a filter scouts you if anything. With a good filter, I'm willing to believe there are bad filters just like there are bad lenses, or at least, there used to be.

I would disagree with the above.... shooting side by side with other shooters, I've seen the difference a filter can make, especially with regards to having a blue sky with puffy white clouds as opposed to blown out white cloudless sky, shooting the same scene, although, we do use polarizers, not UV on most of our landscape lenses.

I've quite enjoyed a number of 55-300 images. I wouldn't really consider the 300 ƒ4 unless you're planning to use it with a TC, where the extra sharpness might make a difference.
You could start your FA ltds collection, 31, 43 and 77, which could be a segue into suggesting some fast glass. But, the first thing I'd do would be analyze what images you have to find out what you use most. You've covered the basics. Covering "specifics" with high end glass, should be a little less experimental and a little more based on useage.
