Zeiss or Leica glass will give good color rendition of the sky without 
filtration.  The original question involved glaciers, and a polarizer can 
be effective in managing glare.  I tend toward close-up landscapes - b&w 
film developed in PMK allows me to control high contrast in the darkroom, 
but color film is a different matter.
