You know, I am going to take back what I said.(...)
I can't really say that I *have* tried long distance shots with a SMC lens without a UV filter and then with one. It's quite possible the SMC coating does work like a UV filter.

Fine... That will save me the weight of a few filters in my fannypack... You think about that over 10,000 feet...
On Super-Takumar lenses, though, UV filters might well prove usefull.
