Does anyone know the difference or have some test shots with the HD filter on?

I can show my flickr site after next Tuesday (pix in current challenge). But I just put a HD UV on my 70-200. I love it and will replace the rest of my filters with it when I get more money.

I'm not too much into the challenges right now so if you showed me I wouldn't vote on it or anything like that, hell I don't vote on any of them anyway. I just bought the Sigma 70-200 2.8 and was looking for a UV filter for it but came across the 77mm Hoya UV(0), the Hoya HD UV, and I guess a standard Hoya UV. obviously there are differences but what would the differences be looking at a picture?

Spend it on something else. All it will do is degrade image quality, and a lens hood is just as good or better for impact protection. The only place that a UV filter seems warranted is in adverse environments like salt spray. If you often shoot in those types of environments, then, in my best Gilda Radner voice "...nevermind."
