Re: Another choice... cheaper.

For me, 14 mm or 16 mm is too wide in many situations. Sure, one can crop, especially with a high-resolution camera such as the R5. But for people who often shot around 20mm, a 14/15-35 zoom lens makes sense. Especially as there are no 20mm primes available (other than the rather old EF 20mm which has strong field curvature and therefore can be challenging to use).

That makes sense if one needs the 20mm focal length.

However, the OP specifically said "I am looking for a ultra wide lens for landscape photography. I am most interested in the wide part."

I assume that in a 14-35, the "wide part" of a UWA are the smallest focal lengths. Hence the recommendation

That's what my experience has been in the past... if I needed wide I ended up shooting the smallest focal length i.e. 7mm on my Oly 7-14mm Pro lens when I was shooting m43. Otherwise it was 14mm and above (ie 28mm and above which is available already on the Oly 12-40mm Pro lens)
