yeah, the haze in the distant scene is why i asked. I didn't have much luck though, with a polarising filter and shooting some distant scenery, maybe because there is too much dust in the air, rather than excess (UV) light causing the haziness. I bought a B+W skylight filter for one of my lens and yet to test it out. Maybe this weekend i'll do some shots with/without and post them and see what it's capable of.
In the meantime, if you need, i found this article that compares the same shot with different filters (UV, UV haze and skylight)

and the tiffen website with what their filters do
