Yes, I disagree. Particularly if the use of one means you can't use a hood. I can't answer your question about vignetting with filter and hood because I don't have a T3, but if this is the case and you have to only use one or the other, for gods sake man, use the hood! If you are going to the Caribbean, use a low contrast negative film to tame the bright light and use a hood to help with the glare and to reduce lens flare. Unless I am totally mistaken, a UV filter won't help at all with glare, only atmospheric haze.

Many have suggested leaving the UV filter in place all the time. I take it you disagree? I am getting ready to take a bunch of photos in the Caribbean and filter will come in handy with the bright sunlight and glare. Thanks again.
