What size lens

[Imacer]

I have a Canon 40D. For basic landscape shots what size lens should I use?

Awful vague queston. But my favorite "general" landscape lens is my 12-24mm Tokina. Seems I get a lot of mileage on the road with that lens. Just a landscape in Houston is going to be a lot different than one in Colorado and might have different requirements to get the shots you want.

Best idea would be to go to some photo sights like Pbase where you can easily search the images and look for the kind of pictures that interest you or search my lens to see what others are doing with a specific lens.

HERE are some random examples from the Tokina 12-24. In the search here you can search for random images from about any camera body or lens imaginable. Just search "by camera" and a mfg. list will pop up. Good luck.

How does your Tokina 17-50 do with landscape shots? Or did you want something wider like the Canon 10-22 or the Sigma 10-20?

Please start your own thread for this question.

From the lenses you own I would initially go with the Tamron 17-50. It depends on your POV and how you want to compose the scene.

Depends on the perspective you want. A 10-20 is a great landscape lens, but it's VERY wide and can be VERY hard to use properly. I've done landscapes with a 50mm lens and with a 200mm lens as well as with a 10mm lens. It jsut depends on the look you want.
