[QUOTE="aroy, post: 290626, member: 16090"] There is no hard and fast rule for the focal length of landscape shots. Some use ultra wides - 12mm or less some use wides - 24/28mm some 50mm and some telephotos. It all depends on what you would like to show. All that you need from your lense is edge to edge linearity and low CA, as landscapes contain a lot of details. Expensive prime lenses from Zeiss and Leica not only give you sharpness but a lot of micro contrast. But as I have said these are extremely expensive lense and Nikon primes will do for most of us. To figure out what suits you best, use the 18-55 at 18mm, 24mm, 35mm and 50mm to take shots of one scene. Repeat these four shots with at least five other scenes. Then compare the shots taken at different FL with each other and decide what suits your liking the best. [/QUOTE]
