Are you looking for the best lens for landscape photography? Or perhaps the the perfect lens for landscapes? Well, there are excellent cases to be made for all sorts. But while longer lenses and fixed focal lengths can be great for scenics, the fact is that the wide-angle zoom is pretty much king in the great outdoors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only do wide-angle zooms let you frame broad vistas with ease, they\u2019re versatile enough to give somewhat tighter views if they\u2019re appropriate to the scene.<\/p>\n

Go it alone or pair one with your standard zoom and you\u2019ll have pretty much all you need for a day in the hills. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll almost always find a wide-angle zoom in a landscape photographer\u2019s bag.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, wide-angle zooms come in all shapes, sizes and prices, but what\u2019s also often important to landscapers is a combination of light weight, usability, and high quality. So here\u2019s AP\u2019s pick of more portable wide-angle options that won\u2019t drag you back down the hill you\u2019re trying to get up.<\/p>\n

They might not always be the fastest, but there are still large aperture versions for low-light work, and with modern cameras you can afford to push the ISO a little more anyway, often making up the difference between an f\/2.8 and an f\/4 model. Plus, unlike much faster models, most of these lenses will also take regular screw-in filters and mount regular holders, so you won\u2019t need to add adapters and big glass to your bag.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, here are our recommendations for the best lenses for landscape photography:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f\/3.5-4.5 USM lens<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

This wide-angle zoom is designed for Canon cameras with an APS-C sensor, like the Canon EOS 90D<\/a> or 250D. It gives a view similar to a 16-35mm lens on a full-frame body, so there\u2019s plenty of options for big scenes. And being made to be compact and lightweight at only 83.5×89.8mm and 385g, it\u2019s a great choice for landscape photographers who\u2019re doing extensive hiking<\/strong>. This doesn\u2019t come at the expense of image quality though, with the lens using a Super Spectra coatings that combats ghosting and flare to keep images clear and contrasty. As a bonus, its minimum focusing distance of 24cm means you can achieve sumptuous foreground textures.<\/p>\n
