Gorgeous stuff!!
I never really bother with these, 'cause I don't have the glass for it. Hell, since I tend to just shoot birds and bugs (tele and macro) I don't even have a decent walking around lens. Any thoughts on a decent wide-angle that won't break the bank? I shoot Canon and have wondered about the 24mmL, 10-22mm, 17-40L, and a few others. This Sigma 8-16mm is getting good reviews too.
Never gotten my hands on any of these though.

willoughby, you really don't need the high end glass to shoot landscapes. all those photos i posted upthread were shot with cheap-ish lenses. the top two were with a 105mm sigma macro and the lightning one was a $100 70-300mm canon. i think a tripod (and of course the light) is more important than lens quality, but having nice glass definitely helps.

Thanks Weezy,
I know I don't need high end glass, and goodness knows I can't afford any, but I do need something. Nine times out of 10 I have my 100-400 on, and it's absolutely rubbish for landscapes. The Macro is out of the question. I've been thinking about something with some wide angle capability for years, so just trying to solicit opinions. And honestly I'm wondering more about the utility of various ranges than anything else. That Sigma 8-16 sure looks sweet, but I wonder how much I'd use it vs, hell, even a straight-up 50mm.

John Hansen: The color saturation and balance in that first shot is awesome. ND grad? Or all natural?
And Brassnuts, that spring in boulder pic should be in a landscape instructional book somewhere. Classic composition.
With modern digi darkroom/photoshop stuff for blending multiple shots, and autobracketing, you can pretty much replicate the ND grad filters, but I still carry a couple big square ones.
20mm prime is definitely my fave climbing/landscape lens.

my favorite lens (lately) for landscape is a short telephoto (approx 70mm in 35mm speak)
