[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 587892, member: 13090"] Well I wouldn't call myself a Landscape photographer, per se, but I have shot some landscapes and I'm of the opinion they do not [I]require[/I] a wide-angle lens. I know... I'm speaking heresy. That being said, if you want to shoot wide-angle then by all means buy a wide-angle lens; but don't buy a wide-angle lens because you think putting MORE into the frame will make for a better landscape photo. Awesome light, a strong subject and good composition are what make a great landscape photo. In fact I'll tell you I find wide-angle lenses the most difficult to use WELL from an aesthetic standpoint, by far, [I]because[/I] they bring so much into the frame. All THAT being said, the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is an excellent wide-angle lens but has been discontinued. Used copies abound. It was replaced by the 12-28mm f/4 which is also an excellent lens.
