I bought Canon 60D with 18-200mm kit lens a year ago. Have been using this body and lens till now.
Would like to try something new. Enjoy landscape photography.
Any lens(all rounder, meaning need not to be landscapre lens) to recommend ? (:

Definitely the EF-S 10-22mm shouldn't be missed in your collection, especially when you are aiming for Landscapes.

Actually depending on your real need, the lens you have now is a decent landscape lens. Stopped down it should give you what you need.

For something wider I'm a fan of the Sigma 10-20. For me it was everything the Canon was at a much lower price point.


Fuji convert - Ping me if you have any Fuji gear or legacy glass you're moving.

yes both are canon. ;) ask 100 people get 100 oppinions. so landscape is your favourit but you want to have an alrouder too? 15-85 (the best alrounder around) or 10-22 plus 24-105 (lots of $$$).

you already have an allrounder lens, so perhaps you get more specific this time.

17-40L if you're looking for a good landscape lens that will be able to upgrade with your body type (if you so choose to go full frame) but the 10-22 is very good if you're sticking to crop bodies. As for bokeh the 17-55 2.8 would be another choice if you're staying with cropped bodies. If you plan on going full frame then the 24-70 2.8 is good for bokeh, but I love my 24-105 as it has more capabilities such as IS and longer reach.
