Anything resembling a high flare situation where the sun is not directly behind you will see some noticeable veiling. Shoot transparencies so you can see this in a real sense. Even if you don't normally. This is the majority not minority of the shooting i do. Even if it was the "minority" of lighting shooting situations I'm not about to be unscrewing and re screwing a UV filter on and off my lens. I'll just leave it off and have my lens protected by my lens hood which does a heck of a job in that respect.
