Using the Cokin P system with Singh-Ray filters I can unfortunately only buy one Polarizer at this time, so I'm wondering which would be the most versatile as they are all the same price.

Singh-Ray has the following CPL available

CPL + A13 Warming Filter
CPL + B9 UV Filter
CPL Neutral Filter

I'm leaning towards the just neutral filter,but I'm open to opinions.

I live in southern Oregon and bright blue skies are the norm here during most of the year. I shoot a lot of landscape scenes and opted to go with the warming filter cpl for that reason.

I live in N. Cali and our days are either nice bright blue skies, or dull ugly grey ones. Is the A13 the same as the 81A? I don't think it is, but if it's not I don't know exactly what the A13 is.

Well, our winters are that dull, ugly grey :) I'm not sure, but I don't think it's a very strong warming filter. I also have a B+W CPL without corrections, so I would guess that if you were only going to have one, I would opt to have the neutral filter (you could always add a 81A if needed).

Now I'm confused, is the A13 the same as the 81A?
