Re: 600D Lens Progression

That is a good question and I believe many of us are in the same boat. Canon seems to be moving out of the EF mount for good and going mirrorless.

So unless you go mirrorless, anything with an EF mount may become obsolete although there are some adapters out there that I have yet to test.

That being said, for landscape photography with a crop sensor camera (and this is also valid for a 90D), 17 mm is too narrow in my opinion. A true landscape photography lens on a crop sensor should be more like a 10-20 mm lens (or similar). Don’t forget that 17 mm on a crop sensor is the same as 27 mm but again, 17 mm is still considered wide. If you’re asking my opinion however, I own a Sigma 17-50 lens which is a good lens but if I want to take a real landscape, I need to use my Sigma 10-20 lens (although I have never been happy with it as it is too soft). Honestly, I now take most of my wide landscape shots with the iPhone 11 that now has a super wide lens (but a bit less megapixels).

There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
