Reknowned wildlife photographer, Moose Peterson frequently used a particular filter combination consisting of a circular polarizer and the 81A warming filter. But the stacked filters tended to vignette wide angle shots. He contracted with Tokina-Hoya-Kenko (THK) to manufacturer the combination on a single piece of glass and the result is the "Moose's" filter. I recently acquired one of these filters and the examples below illustrate the effect.
without filter
with filter
Does anyone else use this filter? |

| I did briefly ... but I figured that most of the shots I use a polarizer for would involve sky and/or water, and I don't particularly like the effect of a warming filter on cyans/blues, so I passed and got separate low-profile filters. |

I bought one when they came out a few years back, but I thought the quality was very suspect. It flared very easily and the coatings were uneven. I replaced it with a Singh-Ray warming polarizer that is both optically better & much better constructed. I have since sold it as I very seldom shoot 35mm film anymore and none of my larger format lenses vignette in the rare instance I need both. I find it completely unnecessary with digital as you can adjust the color balance for the same warming effect and use a normal polarizer.
