Re: I want a 10-20 mm f5.6 to f8 for landscapes.

F/5.6 is not nearly bright enough for anything but broad daylight. Perhaps you don't shoot a lot in low light, but I do.

How is that important for a landscape? If you shoot a landscape, why would you use f2.8? Most lenses are really sharp at f4 to f5.6 and that is what you want in a landscape (mostly). Same is true for architecture but a tripod is less handy there....

The 12-40/2,8 is "ultra sharp" at 12 mm and f/4 from corner to corner. I can't wish for more.
