UV and Haze filters are similar, if not the same, and are neutral in color.
They're meant to reduce UV (naturally), which improves the look of distant
landscapes, among other things. You can leave them on all the time.
Skylight filters are pale pink, or salmon-colored, and are warming filters,

While Sigma has a couple of very wide lenses, when you multiply the
focal length of a 14/15mm lens by 1.5 you end up with a 21/23mm lens.
Not all that wide. So for those who really love wide, be aware of
