Re: Lens purchasing dilemma - wide prime or 18mm kit lens [NX300]

I primarily use the 45mm 1.8 lens with my NX300 but for landscapes it seems not wide enough.

Was thinking should I just keep and use the kit lens at its widest instead of having to purchase another wide prime?

Thoughts? - I am not a pro but aspiring newbie and where I live there is heaaps of scenery just begging to be shot.

Here is a landscape picture I took with the 45mm prime lens - what do you think?

Please feel free to comment and critique, I'm all ears to feedback and improvement.

This what I do: Turn the camera in portrait mode, shoot a series of shots in burst mode in manual focus/exposure panning from left to right and then use Microsoft's ICE to stitch it together. Have not been disappointed yet.
