I'm with Dave G. I NEVER use anything but auto white balance with my 1Ds and use polarizers quite frequently.
BTW, an 81A can be duplicated (perfectly, IMO) in Photoshop with about 5 points each red and yellow. A 'B' takes about 10 points each, while a 'C' takes about 15 each. Of course, your results and taste may vary. These Photoshop 'warming filters' are ALWAYS optically perfect and perfectly clean, and you don't have to buy and carry them! I believe PS 8/CS now has these kinds of filters automated.
