Filter Question

[urbanaries]

I ordered a UV filter with my 70-200 2.8 from B&H and I just discovered it was a UV Haze filter...would there be an IQ difference over a straight UV filter for shots either outdoors or indoors? I get comparable light readings with and without it.

thanks

thanks art...your "think" carries a lot more weight than most people's "know." :D

No thats perfectly normal, UV filters protect to some degree from haze
so marketing dept. decides to write it on the filters as if it was sth extra.

If you are an analog guy you would want to buy a special Haze filter
that is stronger than a normal UV filter if you're into B&W photography
where haze filters show "real" effect. But with the digital age .. u can
always use photoshop to imitate a haze filter.
