[QUOTE="moony16, post: 302210, member: 23104"] You are not talking wide angle; rather, you are talking Ultra Wide angle when you talk 11-16mm, even on APS-c sensor. IMO, UWA glass is not the best choice for landscapes. UWAs do best in tight spaces, like indoors. I find the focal range of 28mm through 40mm (Fx sensor) to be most helpful, with 35mm best. Of course, you can do landscapes with any focal length, but I'm talking most useful here. Also, UWA is a very difficult FOV with which to compose, unless you are experienced. You can get any AOV on APS-c as you can get on Fx these days--ironically, may be more choices for Dx for affordable, good UWA glass. For example, Sigma has the 8-16mm for Dx & the 12-24, for Fx--they provide same AOV on their respective sensors. If you really need low light for Nepal, grab a 16-18ish to 50-55ish constant f/2.8 zoom. You have many quality choices in the range, precisely because the range is in demand. 17-50 Tamron 17-50 Sigma 17-50 Tokina and so on.................... Cheers jt [/QUOTE]
