Doesn't matter, but the more usual method, as far as I know, is KR 1.5
first, polarizer second.  Don't count out a KR3 if it's really blue.  An 81B
might do the trick too.

Subject: [Leica] KR1.5 Warming and Polarizing Filters


I am thinking about starting to use KR1.5 warming filters and
occassionally circular polarizers with all of my R-lenses on my R8. I
shoot coastal landscapes with Kodachrome 64 and many of the resulting
slides are appearing bluish. We get a lot of fog and overcast days
during the summer. I can only warm up my exposures without filters only
if I wait until 2 hours until sunset to shoot landscapes. I think the
KR3 warming filters would be too much warming for my purposes and would
destroy the Kodachrome's neutral look. In adding a filter and a
polarizer to a lens, which one should be screwed on first? Which filter,
the polarizer or the colored filter, should be closest to the camera lens?
