Midway in my walk back in September I replaced the lens cap on the A
28/2.8 with a uv filter. Recently I thought I ordered 49 and 67 mm uv
filters [Tiffen] for use as lens protectors on two other lenses. When
the order arrived I had two 67 mm flyers, one uv, one uv haze.
My first thought was to return the haze, but reading up a little I
thought maybe I’d keep it. In a discussion of uv vs. uv haze on
photo.net, however, I encountered a diversity of opinions about
filter vs. no filter and uv vs. haze, and strongly negative opinions
about Tiffen.
I’d be interested in this group’s thoughts.
The only time I use filters is when I need a polarizer. If you want
protection, buy a lens hood.

That's been my approach ever since Paul Stenquist settled the question
for me by saying something to the effect of, "filters turn good glass
into average glass".
