"haze penetration" is not something that I've ever filtered for. I  
always felt that if there's haze there's haze - not much one can do  
about other than use it to aesthetic advantage. I, of course, may be  
wrong about that. My experience with lens filters and digital are  
mostly using: opaque IR, polarizing, red, green, yellow and orange  
(for their various effect on sky and foliage) with the intention of  
producing B&W images.

In terms of software value:color manipulation - again I don't think  
in terms of "haze." But rather tone control; as in one can turn a red  
apple into very light tones, etc.
