Haze Circular Polarizer

What are the UV Haze Filter and Circular Polarizer for? I have Nikon D50 SLR, should I buy these stuff?
Hi, good ?
UV Haze filters cut down on Haze, hence the name. The slightly reduce glare. The filter also protects your lens from dust and scratches-well worth the $20.
A circular polarizer is a different horse altogether. It will cut down glare more effectively than a UV filter, but can also be used to darken the sky. Polarizers cause light, which normally travels in all directions, to enter the lens in one direction only-so you can eliminate reflections in windows, water, ect. It will, as noted above, cause colors to appear more saturated because it has elimated stray light. You have to be standing at a 45 degree angle from the reflection and rotate the filter. You will see the image become darker and the reflections disappear. It is very cool. I consider this filter indispensible.
40 years shooting.
Have loads of fun,
PS-I read some of the later answers and cannot emphasize enough two points brought out:
One- leave the haze filter on the lens all of the time.
Two-Only put the polarizer on when you want the effect as it will cost you 2-21/2 stops.
Also, kudos to the lens hood person, it is very helpful with flare, but I don't feel it replaces the haze filter.
Good shooting to you all,
jeannie
