Landscape shooters usually own a full frame DSLR because of no crop factor, but there are plenty of excellent options for those of you who own an Canon with an APS-C sensor.

While your camera is an important tool in capturing landscape shots, the lenses you use play a bigger role. The most important factor is the focal length you choose, and going with an extremely wide angle will allow you to capture so much more in your frame and show your viewers more of the situation. The best lenses for landscape are either extremely wide or completely the opposite, in the telephoto range.

Since there are a ton of lenses available, we checked the best Canon landscape lenses as well as third party options from Sigma and Tamron. Check it out!
