Q3 Filter question

Any benefit in using the q3 with a haze filter or any sort of filter to remove glare or haze? Are there any benefits of using a filter as never used one to get better clear pics?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Better use the Haze slider in postprocessing. A haze filter is a very mild red filter designed to remove a bit of blue. The software solution also boosts contrast in the mid tones.

There is no benefit as the filter stack has uv-screening.

Using colour filters on a non-monochrome digital camera will degrade image quality and not bring any benefit. 

You can use a polarizer with good results, protect your lens with a dedicated protection filter, use ND filters or use effect filters (star, etc) if so desired.

I'd try a polarizer. can help in certain lighting situations

Got this K&F vnd with 1/4 black mist.

However only realise cannot attach the original hood. 
‘When adjusting the vnd, there’re black dots to denote each stop.  
‘There’s an arrow that indicate at which stop. Notice that if it’s between 2 stop marks, there is a cross on the image.
