It can matter, particularly with slide film. Skylight/UV/haze filters vary
tremendously - relatively speaking - in color. There's no standard for
these filters so manufacturers' choices vary from pinkish to orangy and even
slightly magenta.
While flash tends to overcome these slight tints, as does daylight, certain
types of artificial lighting may produce some unexpected and undesirable
effects.
I'd suggest experimenting with your choice of film shooting identical photos
with and without your filters to check performance. I doubt you'll see much
difference with color print film, especially Fuji Reala or any speed
Superia, but it's still a good idea to experiment.

Hi! Does it matter whether a Skylight or UV Haze filter is used indoors
with no flash, just inside building lights? (at least f2.8 fixed-focal
length lens, auto set, etc.) TIA.
