Re: Sony 24-105 and a wide prime for Landscape work?
The 24-105 is on my camera by default most of the time. When out shooting landscapes I usually at least start with this lens. I can easily play with focal lengths and compositions. I often capture some of my best landscape images this way. Most of the time I am content with these images.
If I have my camera bag with me, and the light, and scenery, is exceptional enough that I think I may end up printing a large image of the scene, I will take my closest prime to the FL I prefered and shoot some frames with it to get the best possible image. It is a workflow that works well for me.
Often when I get back to my editing computer I find that I really love an image shot with the 24-105. I have no hesitation printing these, and have never been disappointed by any lens shortcomings.
The first image below was shot from a ridge. I was using the 24-105 to snipe around the valley below taking many images at different FL, and with different compositions. Even though I had an excellent prime in my bag that was close enough to the 42mm FL I didn't bother to pull it out and use it. I am not at all disappointed in the IQ of this image, nor the print that came from it.
The second image below is a case where as I described above I did take the time to pull out a prime in a FL I liked. I am also satisfied with this image. But have yet to print it.
