When doing landscape photography we can often walk for long distances and it is important to keep the weight of our camera equipment manageable. Carrying lots of lenses can certainly increase the weight of our camera bags and the effect on our energy levels is noticeable! There will be times we only want to carry a single lens with us to minimise the weight we carry, so what would be the best lens and focal length to carry? This is also a question new landscape photographers may ask before they begin purchasing camera equipment - perhaps you initially only want to buy one lens, so what is the best focal length range to start off with? Have a look here at my video in which I discuss what I think is the best focal length range in a single lens for landscape photography.
