Wide Angle
I am going to thow a dollars worth more into the kitty here. I have shot a lot os subject a the way back to the early 70's such as War Birds at Air Races, Mountain Scenes in the Sierra Nevadas I grew up near Sacramento CA.
When I start the venture in Photography I learned a lot from two People. My Father who love B&W film and also Ansel Adams. I didn't study under him) I learned a lot from each of his documented set ups (exif meta data for digital) He like to us e longer lenses and longer exposures for greater DOF I think I f I remeber correctly the shortest he used for Landscape was a 35mm zeiss planar( could be wrong on the make). That is when he use a Hasselblad in meduim format. The Large formats he used some big lenses.
I have found that I like soot with a longer lens and stopped down as much as I can and shoot at a 100ISO. I haven't shot any landscape with my D3 yet. Anyway the short of it take a look at Ansel Adams books. You can lean a lot about filters for B&W and lot more. I restudy his books regularly as I always learn something new.
If anything you may want to have faster glass but until you perfect your skills why bother with 1500-2000 for a fast wide angle lens. J MHO
