If you get the 50mm 1.8. Make sure you get one with an af motor since your camera won't af with a screw drive mount.

I have shot with and without UV filters and really don't notice enough difference to add (or remove) one.  I have seen lenses saved by folks having a UV filter on them and I have seen lenses that weren't saved...I personally have bent the edge of a "protective filter" rather than the edge of my lens because I happend to have one on that lens.  I personally prefer the added security because my lenses DO get banged sometimes.  Other than that one situation, it wouldn't have mattered whether I had a filter on a lens or not.  I agree that some sales folks over-sell the benefits of adding a filter, but having one can help and shouldn't hurt.

In the end you can always remove the filter when shooting.

Considering the circumstances ISO 4000 would be a bit high. For that shot dialing down the shutter speed a bit might have helped since it is obviously not a moving subject. On ISO I try to keep it under 1600, and that is in the worst conditions.

I like using simply because it can prevent you from taking accidental shots. Since the af is separated from the shutter release.

Also remember that if you try to bring back exposure in pp it will introduce new noise. Better to get proper exposure in the first place than extra noise you wouldn't have had anyway. At least in your case it was not on important shots though.
