After reading the recent posts on this thread I thought I would have a look at my photographic notes to see what focal lengths I have used for my landscape pictures, I was quite surprised, the majority are taken between 35mm and 70mm! Very few were taken much wider than this although I have focal lenghths down to 20mm. I think the reason for this is the huge expanse of country the wider angles portray, for instance distant mountain ranges look like molehills on a 20mm, even 24mm is too much for large landscapes. At the other end of the scale I find I quite often use the 120mm end of my 24-120 zoom, I have on occasions used my 500mm lens to cram in the detail on a distant landscape, see The Old Bridge at Forss on web page:
