Landscape Lens Options

Hi guys,

Still swithering over a move from Olympus to Pentax, have had a few issues with my Olympus mainly that I find it too small to hold comfortably and that I'm struggling to get wide enough lenses with the 2x crop factor, just wondering what K Mount lenses people her are using for landscape shots.

For wide angle:

Pentax 18-55mm, Tamron 17-50mm, Sigma 10-20mm.

I've just purchased as Pentax 16-45 this has a wider field of view and things are 'O' so much sharper than the 18-55 kit lens, unfortunately it has not stopped raining since I purchased it so cannot post any examples that will show this lenses capabilities. The only criticism is that it does barrel at 16mm. Apart from that it is rock solid but don't take my word for it have a look through this site DP Review or this one Photozone you may want to have a look through this post link or maybe contact some of the fine upstanding members in Scotland who would love to personally show of all the lenses they are hoarding.

The most superb wide angle for Pentax DSLRs is of course the 12-24mm f4, which is an outstanding lens.

All of the images shot here taken with the DA 16 - 45. It`s a great value lens. Personally I do not get to hung up on reviews, it`s what the shots look like in real life that counts. I would advise you go for the 16-45 initially, with a view to upgrading to a wider lens if required in the future.
