Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 lens

[Barry H]

Hi all,

Is the above lens suitable for Landscape photography, I have the chance to pick one up really really cheap.

Anyone use one for landscapes, comments welcome.

For use on a 7D.

It would suit your camera for its sensor size (and not a "full-frame" camera).
F=24mm does not give a very wide angle of view on your camera. It is closer to
being a "standard lens". But not all landscapes are by any means wide-angle shots.

I'd say that if the price is right, get it. I can't offer ANY info on its quality. While
waiting for other replies, check it out in the reviews. Here are two:

Also, check its prices online.
