It’s exciting to capture a scene’s beauty, but using the appropriate lens can help you get the perfect shot. With the correct lens, you can get high-quality and perhaps astonishing results.

Generous zoom lenses are an excellent investment since they provide you a lot of variety while reducing the need to carry along different lenses and switch them out frequently.

Best lenses for landscapes

  1. Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD
  2. Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM
  3. Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM
  4. Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD
  5. Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
  6. Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S
  7. Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS
  8. Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f/2.8-4 Asph.
  9. Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E
  10. Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD
  11. Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS

Two wide-angle zooms are available from Canon for APS-C format SLRs. The front element of the Tamron lens has a fluorine coating to fend off spray and rainfall, as well as weather seals for the worst outdoor weather. The lens hood is not a “optional extra” that you will need to purchase separately. The performance and image quality of Tamron lenses are at their highest, and the sharpness is excellent throughout the entire frame, right into the corners.

A common choice among photographers utilizing full-frame Canon DSLRs like the Canon EOS 5D IV is the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM. It boasts a rapid, nearly silent ultrasonic autofocus technology, a fluorine coating on the front and back elements to help repel dust, water, grease, and dirt, a constant aperture of f/4, and weather sealing.

In addition to more expensive 10-24mm and 12-24mm DX lenses, Nikon sells a low-cost AF-P DX 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR wide-angle zoom for its APS-C format SLRs. In terms of the selling price, the Tamron is in the center, but it outperforms all Nikon lenses in terms of image quality and corner-to-corner sharpness.

Fuji combines a wide zoom range with a fixed f/4 rating. Its luxurious craftsmanship feels amazing. The lens incorporates an optical image stabilizer and a physical aperture ring to improve handling. with 3-stop effectiveness that is somewhat average.

The Panasonic is almost on par with the Olympus for maximum field of view, has a separate hood, and includes a filter attachment thread. This lens has a unique optical path with three aspherical elements, two Extra-low Dispersion elements, one aspherical ED element, and a UHT – ultra-high refractive index element. It also has great image quality.

Given its much quicker aperture and relatively compact size and weight, Tokina is perfect for shooting food or the chic interiors of restaurants, but it lacks Sony’s Optical Image Stabilization.

It’s time to choose the ideal lens for you. Before you do, consider your budget and the type of landscape picture you’ll be doing. Make sure to do your homework before making a purchase.

You make a list of ‘best’ landscape lenses and leave out two of the best wide zooms ever made – the Pentax 24-70 f2.8 and the Pentax 15-30 F2.8. (Pentax variation of a Tamron lens). Then for crop sensors there is the venerable 12-254 F4 and the stellar Da* 11-18mm, not to mention the tiny, compact jewel of the DA15mm prime.
I know pentax isn’t as sexy as all thesse mirrorless offerings, but that was’nt the point of the excersize. ‘Best’ landscape lenses are just that, irrelevent of make. Oh, and BTW inbuilt lens stabilisation is not required when the stabilisation is done correctly, in body.
