Landscape Lens vote

I am about to make a choice on which lens im about to get, but I need a little help.. I narrowed it down to 2 choices.. Can you please vote which I should get and why?

Thank you!!



CHOICES:

Camera 1 (link below)
Sigma Wide Angle 24mm f/1.8 EX Aspherical DG DF Macro Autofocus Lens



Camera 2 (link below)
Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko ED Zoom Lens

 

can someone please help me decide, i'd like the advice of people who know more about photography then me

 

I pick the Nikon 17-55 2.8

 

i voted the olympus lens.. i do not know about its image quality, but the 24mm just would not be wide enough for landscape work on a less than full frame sensor.

 

Out of those two, which I know nothing about, the Sigma 24mm is not wide enough. With the crop factor, you're only talking about a 38mm focal length. The multiplier may be 1.4 which puts it at 34mm, regardless.....

 

Sigma 10-20mm Ultra wide for me, thanks.

Based on the choice beween the 2 above, the 14-24 is the better landscape lens. At least it takes the wider shot. I do not know which would take the better shot, though... normally that would go to the prime lens, just talking in general.

 

i second the vote for the 10-20! those other lenses dont really seem wide enough for the landscape stuff I'M thinking of....

 

Actually I'm pretty sure that the Olympus crop factor is 2x! so the 24mm would actually be 48mm. I have the Sigma 24mm f/1.8 and like it. However, with your crop factor, I'm sure the 14-42 (28-84) will be your best bet.
