when using a CPL filter, do you have to over-expose by a stop?
or do you leave it as is?

I posted the same question a few weeks ago, got an answer to try it myself. As I have a Minolta slr which uses the same filters, I checked on minolta's ttl meter.
If there are some serious reflections (on water surface or glass)..the answer is yes. By 1 to 2 stops. If you are looking for a bit of clouds definition, or minor area reflections, no need to compensate.
If You are looking for accurate exposure... However in my experience, color negative film can take a few stops of over/under exposing quite well, and if you are scanning it, you can easy compensate with some post-processing.
