Try shooting the haziest landscape you can find with no filter, and then,
without changing anything else, with a good UV filter added - I think you
will find that slides, or identically-made prints, will be identical (no
haze reduction with the "UV-haze" filter..., unless you use an old 3-4
element lens, maybe...). Most modern lenses absorb so much UV themselves
that the UV absorption of the UV filter is redundant.
Hope This Helps
