Hi All,
Just wonder what lens is better to take photo on the top of the mountain?
Sorry, I don't have 50mm Prime.
If telephoto lens, 85mm or 135mm is long enough or not?
Many thanks 
Ed: Mt Cook in New Zealand; and Swiss Alps.

Mar 09, 2011 05:03 | #6 I'm thinking using a prime telephoto to get 'bit more detail', and stitch them together as KY707 said; Canon 5D3 + Zoom (EF 17-40L, 24-105L & 28-300L, 100-400L II) & Prime (24L II, 85L II, 100L, 135L & 200 f/2.8L II; Zeiss 1,4/35)

Painful decision... based on these 2 combo's i'd definitely go with the 5D2 + 17-40. 17-40 is already a wide angle lens and you'll be mounting it to a FF so ur gunna get a wider shot than the crop T2i.

RPCrowe Cream of the Crop  More info | IMO, many UWA landscape shots are boring-boring-boring... Lots of sky and foreground and very small details. I far prefer a pano for landscape work. See my images at http://rpcrowe.smugmug.com/
