[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 358320, member: 13090"] The big question is: How much do you have to spend? Some lenses to consider would be the Nikon 12-24mm f/4G, at around $1K or so. While Tokina offers the 12-28mm AT-X f/4 Pro and the 11-16mm f/2.8 DX-II for about half that; either one of those would serve you well. I have the 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II but I'd be just as happy, if not happier I think, with the 12-28mm f/4 version. All that being said, wider is not always better. I shoot a lot of landscapes using my Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 because what you really need, more than anything in my opinion, for good landscapes is really, really good IQ. My girlfriend does a hell of job with the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G; don't dare tell *her* that's not a landscape lens... [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
