While looking for a polorizer and and a 81a I came across one of these Moose filters that are a combination of both. Anyone use this? Is it just as good as the two filters or should I just pony up the extra $$$ for the two of them sepratly? Here is one on ebay.

I bought one and its OK. Apart from a slight flaw in the optics:evil: . Probably an exception, but as I'm in the UK and I got it from the US it wouldn't be cost effective to return it.

Should I just get the polorizer, or just the 81a then, or both?

I would get a 'normal' CPol. I just bought a Hoya to replace the Moose. Since I use Photoshop, if I want to add warmth, I simply use the Photofilters.

I find it easier to add warmth than to remove it. :)

If you are using this filter for nature photography I would suggest getting the polorizer only. If you are shooting a lot of sky and or water you do not want to warm your images. If you are shooting with a 10D, 20D or upper level models of canon you have a built in kelvin temp. changing option.;) :) :D

Good shooting to ya !!
