It's your call, but on my EF 20-35 I sure haven't felt the need for a
haze filter. Or any filter for that matter. You will only be degrading the
quality and introducing more flare. The lens hood protects the lens pretty
well for my needs, and sharpness and contrast on this lens is excellent.
I've tried skylight filters on different lenses, but to be honest I've never
noticed any real benefit from them. You did order the lens hood, right?
This is my opinion - you are getting a great lens, but adding a filter
for no reason is not a good idea. As to using a CP, ok there might be times
when you can mount it and get benefits. However, with ultra wides, it won't
be very often due to uneveness of sky and such that it will produce. No
matter how good the filter, even when spotlessly clean, you've got two more
glass surfaces to degrade quality, and make flare. I find filters tend to
collect dust and degrade over time, so like I said, it's your call...
