It never occurred to me that it would but come to mention it in very low light
levels I could see how i COULD have an effect.

On a bright day if the UV filter takes out 1 unit of light out of a few hundred
units the effect is negligible.
In a coal mine at midnight with one candle off in another part of the cave you
have only 5 units of light to work with.
You don't want to loose one.
Could that be true? Seems like it would be.
