Dear Dr.Matthew,
have been using the OLYMPUS system for 15 years.
Presently for landscape 'am using the 35/2.8 Shift & 18/3.5 Wide ZUIKO's.
In my opinion the 18/3.5 has a too large a coverage and 'sky area has to be
framed out or cropped, also tends to be 'over-coverage'. A Graduated 'P' Serie
COKIN has to be used positively to get acceptable resuts.
The 35/2.8 is a superb/ sharp lens but for landscapes, its just a NORMAL lens.

HOWEVER, the 24/2.6 'is definitely, the PERFECT LANDSCAPE LENS'.
The coverage is right, the lens is sharp and contrasty, compact in size and
can be USED on the OM all the time.
IMHO the 24/2.8 ZUIKO should be called the 'LANDSCAPE LENS'.
