[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 474562, member: 12496"] One size of lens really does not fit all situations. :) We do have some basics. For DX, the "normal" lens is about 30mm. That makes a 35mm lens be a mild telephoto on DX (or at very most, might still consider it a "normal" lens). But landscapes often want wide angle, which 35mm is not (not on DX). 35mm is mild wide angle on FX, but it takes 24mm to be moderate wide angle (on FX). For DX, that 24mm equivalent becomes 16mm (for moderate wide angle on DX). A 16-85mm zoom would normally work great for very many situations. [/QUOTE]
