Another lens I haven’t seen mentioned is the Nikon 20mm 1.8G.
I wouldn’t recommend it as a primary landscape lens. It has a fair amount of distortion, and it’s really far wider than I like for my landscape work. I’ve found that on full frame, the Tamron 24-70 G2 is my go to landscape lens.
The only reason the 20 1.8G stays in my kit at this point is that it’s a phenomenal lens for astrophotography, and it’s compact and light enough that I can carry it with me on backpacking trips to photograph the night sky.
@nerwin loves his 20 1.8. I bet I would love it, too. I have the super wide itch.
That's why zooms in this range are so attractive to me. A couple mm at these wide lengths makes a completely different shot.
Yeah, it absolutely does. I think I’d like mine more if I did more shooting with it.. the ultrawide lenses are really hard to work with if you don’t do it often because it’s an entirely different way of composing things than most of us are used to.
That’s even more true for someone like myself who prefers to shoot just about everything at 135-200mm if I’m able to because I like the compression it gives me.
