so is a wide angle no good for landscape photography????
Wide angle lenses are good for landscape photography as are say 30mm to 50mm prime lenses.It all depends on what you want to photograph.

For instance relections love the sigma 10-20mm' normal landscapes i would use a DA16-45mm lens which is more than capable.

There you go Emma.You'll have to do a bit of rumiging though.I spend most of my ebay time on this search.
There are some lenses going cheap but just watch out for internal fungus on the lens which is not good.Try and get a lens at the best quality possible.

Hi Emma there are a lot of landscape lenses out there Take the DA16-45mm second hand maybe around (£170) / or Sigma 10-20mm £300ish sigma's 18-50mm and 17-70mm about £300 .There is also a DA17-70mm but it's quite expensive at the moment.

Also good to note that you have a Pentax camera which opens up a whole host of older A / M /FA series lenses which cost much less but only having manual focus.Don't be put off by these lenses i'm buying some of them myself at the moment on ebay.


What sort of budget do you have.
