I see no difference with UV filter on lens vs no filter.

UV filters are used to reduce haziness created by ultraviolet light. A UV filter is mostly transparent to visible light, and can be left on the lens for nearly all shots. UV filters are often used for lens protection, much like clear filters. A strong UV filter, such as a Haze-2A or UV17, cuts off some visible light in the violet part of the spectrum, and so has a pale yellow color; these strong filters are more effective at cutting haze,[2][3] and can reduce purple fringing in digital cameras.[4] Strong UV filters are also sometimes used for warming color photos taken in shade with daylight-type film.

I use a UV on one lens and a Sky on the other, but only to protect the lenses. Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I once tripped and fell into a muddy ditch while carrying both cameras, which got tangled-up and went lens first into the mud from six feet with my whole body-weight propelling them down.
Both lens hoods snapped off and were driven up the lens barrels of my 24-70 and 80-200. Both UV filters had minor scratches from the debris in the mud.
I am in no doubt that the lens hoods acted as 'crumple-zones', soaking up the impact and preventing damage to the lens' mechanisms, while the filters prevented the front elements from being damaged.
Any loss of image-quality caused by the addition of a UV or protection filter is so negligable that you'll only notice it in certain conditions (at night with point light-sources in the frame being the main one).
Nothing like a great example to bring home the message. Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
