I'm on the fence as to whether you need one. I have one but not sure I need it. I think I get more lens flare now as the filter extends further forward allowing the sun to hit it easier than without the filter.
I have noticed that my Zeiss is far more susceptible to lens flare than my other scopes (Nikon and Swaro)
In any event, you can get it here:

Thanks Steve, I spent too many years as an army photographer in extreme conditions (helicopters, tanks, dust, jungle and nosy idiots), a UV was essential to protect my gear. I will try to live without one for now but if the old lens maternal instinct returns I will reconsider.

see past postings on filters , including mine. regards, stuart [filter user].
Update: I saw this on Ebay and bid on an 86mm Sigma UV, however; it went up to £36 + postage so I let it go. I then checked further and found a Japanese Kood 86mm UV for £13.00 + £1.25 postage, it arrived within two days and is excellent.
No so good news on my cameras and tripod head. The Nikon 8400 and Pana DMC Z50 are not very happy on the Zeiss QCA so a Nikon P5000 is on it's way.
The Manfrotto 115 head is very clumsy with all that weight on it. In my present impecunious state I have plumped for the Indian copy of the Manfrotto 393 and will find out on arrival if I have made another mistake.

The Heliopan 87 mm UV SH-PMC filter NR 2023 fits the Zeiss 85.

Steve,
Just went downstairs and checked our scope - you're right.
