Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice on what lens to purchase for when I travel to Europe in September and October this year. I will be visiting Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. I like taking landscapes and video. Any tips/pointers on what to choose that is somewhat versatile so I only have to worry about 1 lens while away. I only own the Rokinon 24mm F/1.4 and the kit lens for the 7DMKII. I am looking at getting the Canon 50mm F/1.4 but is it wide enough on a Canon 6D for landscapes? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you!

I think if you only want to take one lens you might find a 50/1.4 rather limiting.  Would suggest either a 24-105/4 or 24-70/4.
