I have the Tamron 28-200 which I occasionally use for local walks or family times as a one-lens solution, and I have the Tamron 50-300 which I pair with the Sony 16-35 PZ as my lighter landscape set (my main heavier pack is Tamron 50-400, Sony 24-105, and the 16-35 PZ or Sigma 14-24).
Whether one uses the longer teles for landscape is really a personal preference/vision, it’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, whereas for me the focal lengths greater than 200mm are essential for some work where I'm selecting an aesthetically pleasing piece out of the whole. You asked for examples so here are a few at focal lengths of 500, 400, 365, 282, 268.
