[QUOTE="nsomnac, post: 591756, member: 41774"] Agree that the 14-140 is just an okay lens. And for many it's a great lens. It does work well in bright conditions - so if that's your subject matter - it's an excellent choice for the price. If you don't have good lighting then you're going to have to seek out faster lenses. The topic is landscape though. Usually sharp and wide are king. Since you're usually outdoors - speed generally isn't much of an issue - so an F/4 is generally enough since they are usually sharpest around F/8 - 16 depending on lens. This is an older thread, and since my last response, I think I may have picked up the Sigma 17-50 f2.8. Excellent walk around lens for DX IMO for price. While a fast lens - it's sharp and since it's stabilized you can shoot handheld pretty slow (1/20 - 1/30). However a friend of mine swears by the Sigma ART 12-24 as being exceptional for landscape as well on DX. But that's more than double the price. Jim [/QUOTE]
