Plain tints are probably better. Yellow to brown tints
seem best at cutting through haze and highlighting clouds.


It's not a question of the overall tint, but rather that the lens is a
strong blue attenuator, i.e. that most (but not all!) of the blue light
is filtered out. Granted every blue attenuator will have a brownish
overall colour, but not every brownish lens is a blue attenuator.

Personally I wear Zeiss Skylet lenses and couldn't be happier. Not only
do they have a well tuned colour filter, but they also are optically
perfect. However they are pretty costly, so you should only consider
them if you don't tend to sit on your glasses.
