I've been reading info on a few websites about a possible problem that I have. When I take pictures in natural daylight, there seems to be a blue haze/tint to my pictures. It was suggested that I use either a UV filter or a Skylight filter. From what I've read, they are pretty close in their function (removing the blue tint from film). From what I understand, as UV light is not able to be seen by the eye, we are not aware of its presence. Of course, when the film is developed, it shows up because the film can "see" it. Can anyone tell me the difference in performance between the HOYA Super-Multicoat filters and B+W Multicoat filters? I ask because on their respective sites their descriptions are rather close. However, in the B&H Photo ads, their prices aren't (for a 77mm UV/Skylight filter, B+W is $77 and HOYA is $45). I don't mind spending more money if the product is better, so that's not an issue -- I just want the better performing filter. As for my "problem", would the UV or Skylight filter be better? I use mostly Kodak 100 Speed print and slide film with Nikon AF-S lenses, if that's any help with an answer.
