Anyone use a 50mm for landscapes?
No never tied it, always used the Siggy 10-20mm fine for me.
It was just another option I was considering - having just read the Photozone review of the new Sigma 8-16mm though I've just changed my line of thought 100% back to the UWA, I was considering the used DA 14mm that SRS have but the Sigma looks very promising

I now use a 28mm prime for the same purpose - it's sharp enough that I can crop images to remove unwanted objects and the results are still perfectly acceptable. It also works very well with the "Hugin" panorama creator software that I use.

OK you get a certain view that is not all encompassing but if its the lens you have on the front of the camera, go for it.
As said above, its like cropping the best bit of the wider 'scape.
I'd quite like a Sigma 30mm F1.4 as the speed of the f1.4 lens is a real boon.
I have used the DA*50-135 for landscapes, don't have the photos since I ain't home for a few days so you've to wait for mine.
I've decided I'm going to pick up a 50mm "A" lens and give it a try, my main cash will be spent on an UWA, at the moment the 8-16mm being the favourite

I've half an eye on a 50mmm F1.7 A for the Z-1 and the MZ-M but having the 58mm means its a luxury buy.
I once appeared as a witness at Mold Crown Court!!!! No photos though.
and 18mm on the Tamron 17-50mm FYI, we had our wedding reception at the far end and when I'm brave I night fish off Loe Bar.

As the saying goes "it's a small world"....we called at a tea room/cottage at the end of the beach on walk from Porthleven to Lizard Point, terrific stretch of coastline, especially Mullion Cove and Kynance, we'll certainly be visiting again one day!!

The 16-45 doesn't see much use!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
