Best Lens For Landscape

[m18nye]

Hi, i am going on holiday in the summer and want to purchase a lens for some great landscape shots. I have a Sony A200 camera and my current lens are a 18-70mm, 70-300mm and a 50mm prime.

Thanks

I'd have thought your 18-70mm is just the ticket.

18mm is pretty wide, but I've just bought a Sigma 10-20mm for landscapes.

"I'd have thought your 18-70mm is just the ticket."

Indeed.

Some prefer long lenses for landscape but I prefer wider and the only thing that I'd rather use than something in the 18-70mm range would be something in the 10-20mm range.

I use a Sigma 12-24 or 20mm f1.8 for landscape mostly.

Yeh, im looking for something of a bit more wide angle.

reading a thread on dyxum,and apparently it's not been advertised on their website(read first post here..

http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/discounted-sony-1118mm_topic53348_post585557.html )

although the OP states a price of £299,they were selling it for £250..

deffo worth the price of a phone call...good luck
