Also I carry .3, .6, .9 graduated neutral density filters from Lee Filters. These filters allow me to balance, or darken skies so the clouds maintain gradation, and they can really salvage a scene in early morning or sunset light.

The popular saturated blue sky look sometimes is a little over the top for me. Besides a polarizer I usually carry an assortment of warming filters 1A, 1B, and some of the 81, and 85 series filters. At high altitude and in shadows blue prevails.

I pretty much always use a polarizer with slide film - for me, Velvia 50. I have some Provia 100F but seldom use it. Landscapes & Velvia 50 are a match made in heaven! A polarizer is useful for far more than just deepening the blue of a sky, It makes foliage look like it is supposed to by removing the reflected blue from the sky. Basically keeping the flora & fauna colors true. Plus, you can always dial it back to the neutral position if you want to shoot without polarization help. I might as well weld a polarizer to my lenses since I take very few photographs without it. Even with B&W film.
