I'm going to use up the rest of my Black and White film today and tomorrow to test out the lens, would the results be the same if I use colour film?
No! A UV filter is useless. The lens hood is, well, a hood (!) that fits over the end of the lens and blocks light entering from the sides. It has no glass and does not interfere with your lens quality the way that filters do.
