I've started using the XF 16-80mm a lot recently over the 16-55mm. Image quality is great. Also, I added the new Fuji XF 8mm and it's really fantastic. With the 10-24mm and 70-300, my kit is complete for landscapes.

I use the Fuji 16-80 for general travel and landscape, with the 18-135 (bought used) for a bit more reach and as a backup lens. These are plenty sharp for me and, as you say, landscapes (and a lot of travel shots) are usually shot between F5.6 and F11 where these zooms are sharpest. I'm adding the Sigma 10-18 to give me more width and, if I feel it's important, more sharpness at the edges than I can get from these lenses at focal lengths below 24 mm. But frankly, I usually find the 16-80 and 18-135 sharp enough at all focal lengths as I am not a pixel peeper.

Every photo you post is a masterpiece sir. That new camera bag is incredible indeed. Am just a hobby photographer, but I got 2 primes for wide angle captures. As you discussed, using a zoom is indeed better for most landscape captures, and the Fuji 16-80mm f/4 is the one I use the most.

Great video, as always! I´m super happy with this set up: Fujifilm XT5, + Viltrox 13mm, Fujinon XF 16-50mm (have used it a lot for a couple of weeks now, it´s super sharp and surprisingly lightweight) and Fujinon 70-300mm. This set up covers all my needs for my nature and landscape photography. Couldn´t bee more satisfied 🙂

Certainly food for thought, especially if you're a beginner. The last image was a stunner.

My best lens for landscape photography is probably the Tamron 28-200. Amazing IQ for being a "super zoom", and it probably covers 95% of all the shots I want to take. If 28mm is not enough, and the situation allows for it, I can do a pano to go wider. Super versatile and delivers great IQ, all I can ask for really. It's my go-to lens for longer hikes when I want to go lightweight and avoid switching lenses in harsh environment.

Hi Ian, Pembrokeshire Archeology Day might be give you more locations and inspirations. And make connections. For last 20 years always been something amazing from the recent to prehistoric.

Cracking shots Ian, especially the last one 👌

Thanks!

Tremendous last shot there Ian, Love the clouds guiding the eye naturally towards the light. Lovely relaxing watch as always, keep up the great work. 👍 from Peru!

Killer sunset shot! Great advice! Thanks for taking me along!

I use a Leica Q2. No need to worry about lenses as it’s a fixed 28mm. Need a telephoto? Just crop - it’ll easily go to around 100mm

I enjoyed the video as usual Ian. The lens i use the most is the Tamron 17-35mm which i use more than the Nikon 28-300mm, which to be quite honest i should use a lot more. Fantastic light and image's. Look forward to the next one mate.

My golden trio now is, 16mm f1.8 fisheye, 24-80mm f2.8 and 200-800mm f5-6.3.

Great shots , especially the last one with the nice light

I very much enjoy your videos. They are so calm and relaxing and on top of that your images are stunning.. I’ve only started to be interested in landscape photography recently and as I beginner I’m getting a lot of good tips and hints from you. Thank you and keep up the good work

Your walk in this video brought back memories from about 30 years ago, walking the area with my wife and kids. As for my favourite lens, I almost only ever shoot with a standard zoom. I use Sony APSC, but I believe this lens is also available for Fuji: the excellent Sigma 18-50 f2.8. It's really surprisingly sharp for a zoom and on many photos people were convinced I had used a prime. It sits on my camera pretty much all the time, and I only ever replace it with the kit lens and only when I do a bit of video - because the kit lens has image stabilisation while the Sigma does not.

Great video Ian, nice to know there are some places without the crowds 😊🤙

As usual most enjoyable. I’ve had the 16-55 for a while now and still lug it around. Complemented by the 8mm and 70-300 - oh and the GR III always travels with me.
