Ok, I'm picking up a Canon 5D Mk2 body towards the end of July, presently using a 5D Mk1 body.

So looking for an excellent quality wide angle lens for serious landscape photography in the not too distant future. Been looking at the Zeiss 21mm f/2 lens, hmmm quite a large price for this prime, but I appreciate you pay for quality..!

Anything out there by Canon that would come close..? Would the EF 24mm f/1.4 L be decent as a serious landscape lens..?
What about the Voitlander range of glass, are they worth considering also..?

I don't mind if its a prime or short zoom, but I'm after a quality end product.


Appreciate any advice/experience/thou​ghts, thanks..!

17 TS-E or 24 TS-E - pretty much the only thing that rivals Nikon or Zeiss at the wide end of the spectrum.

If you're looking for a dedicated wide landscape lens, it would be tough to beat the Tilt/Shift Canon lenses.
