On a pond the other day, trying to photo a Green Heron, in late morning, I had trouble getting focus. I switched from the UV Filter to the CP I've never used, and the problem was even worse.
Also, I live on a river, so trying to shoot a Blue Heron yesterday, I got a milky haze and inability to get crisp focus. I was able to reproduce the effect without the UV filter.
Reading on a tech site or two, I see that with a digital camera, they say, if there is a lot of light contrast, (as in reflected light on water), there can be bleed over, so to speak, creating that milky haze.
I think this will always be a challenge shooting waterfowl and want a fix. The G3 will NOT focus with the CP I have now, and at longer telephoto, (100-300 lens), I think the UV creates a challenge too; but, as stated, I have the problem with or without.
I'm "challenged" alright.
thoughts on this, for someone five rungs under a "novice?"
PS... that Green Heron totally made my day. Bad photos but what a gorgeous bird... very exotic for my "neck of the woods."
