Take pictures with it. Long distance, landscape shots. I once used a good UV filter on a SMC Pentax lens. Also took pictures without the filter. Big color shift, those with the filter removed the blue haze that often occurs in the distance.
Other than that, no.
Marnie aka Doe But I am pretty sure that is not what you meant. :-) I now put a UV filter on all my lenses. I shoot landscapes fairly often.
So different from my experience. What filter brand did you use?
I did my test with a Pentax SMC UV filter, I was at a 12,000 ft altitude, mid afternoon, on a clear day. Distant landscape.
I'll definitely try again next time I travel at high altitude, or simply put a UV filter on my lenses fom now on.
