The heart of the wide-angle zone for landscape professionals is more like 14mm to 24mm, but we will address 27mm focal lengths and narrower because that’s where many popular APS-C lenses start. Anything less is getting into fisheye territory, and anything more is pretty normal and doesn’t have a wide-angle feel. ![]() It’s generally accepted that the human eye sees at a 50mm equivalent, so anything less than that technically is wide angle.įor landscape purposes, we think of the wide-angle focal length range as 14mm to 35mm on a 35mm camera. There isn’t, however, a universal definition of wide angle ( Wikipedia, for example, offers the not-so-helpful, “a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens”). The majority of landscape photos are of the wide-angle variety, which dictates the lenses and focal lengths that we discuss below. The truth is that there isn’t one correct focal length for landscapes, but it’s well worth investigating before making a big purchase. We’ve also picked and described the top wide-angle lenses for both crop sensor and full-frame cameras from Canon, Nikon, and Sony. Accordingly, below is detailed information on ideal focal lengths for landscapes with example photographs and our take on each. ![]() Choosing lenses and focal lengths for landscape photography has a lot of layers, and it’s a topic I wish I researched more before jumping in.
