One strategy you could try is to use a gelatin filter between the shutter plane and the film or behind the mirror and before the shutter plane. Kodak and Lee have 75cm square 87 polyester filters that you could cut down to fit. They run about $12 to $15 bucks on B&H. I'm going to try this with a TLR that I got from a fellow list member; I can't find regular glass filters for it. Added benefits: You can compose and focus through the viewfinder without having to apply the filter later. Down side is that changing filters will be difficult to impossible until you finish the roll.
