Not sure which lens is best for landscape photography?
Wide-angle lenses are the go-to choice for most landscape photographers, offering broader fields of view and dramatic foreground emphasis. Prime lenses offer exceptional sharpness, while zooms provide framing flexibility in changing environments. Consider factors like focal length, aperture, weather-sealing, and lens coating when making your decision. For more focal range options, check out our complete lineup of Wide Angle Lenses.
Popular Types of Landscape Photography Lenses
Ultra-Wide Prime Lenses
These fixed focal length lenses offer excellent sharpness and low distortion. Great for foreground emphasis and full-scene storytelling, they're ideal for golden hour landscapes and astrophotography.
Wide-Angle Zoom Lenses
Versatile and flexible, these zooms let you adjust your composition without changing position. They're perfect for capturing everything from tight canyon walls to panoramic mountain views.
Telephoto Lenses for Landscape
Though less traditional, telephoto lenses are used to compress distant elements, isolate subjects, or highlight layers in the landscape. Excellent for atmospheric scenes or abstract framing.

Landscape Photography Lenses FAQs
What focal length is best for landscape photography?
Wide-angle focal lengths like 14mm to 35mm are most common, but telephoto lenses between 70mm and 200mm are also used to isolate details or compress perspective.
Are zoom lenses or prime lenses better for landscapes?
Both have strengths. Primes offer edge-to-edge sharpness and often wider apertures, while zooms provide flexibility when your position is limited.
