Lenses for landscapes on APS-C cameras

Landscapes ask for a wide view, a lens that is sharp stopped down and a front thread for a polariser or ND filter. Here is every wide lens on each system that takes one.

The rule: lenses that start at 24 mm equivalent or wider and take a front filter; sorted widest, then lightest.

What the numbers tell you

Most landscape photographs are made between 16 and 35 mm equivalent, at f/8 to f/11, often on a tripod. At those apertures nearly every lens is sharp across the frame, so the questions that remain are the widest view, the weight you carry up the hill and the filter thread. A screw-in polariser deepens skies and cuts reflections; an ND filter slows water and clouds.

Telephoto landscapes, picking out a distant ridge, are as common as wide ones; the telephoto zoom you may already own does that. For sharpness from near to far, focus at the hyperfocal distance: the depth-of-field calculator lists it for each aperture.

How are these landscape lenses chosen?

By one rule from the published numbers: lenses that start at 24 mm equivalent or wider and take a front filter; sorted widest, then lightest. No lens is paid to appear, and none is left out for having no Amazon listing.
