For landscapes I'd go with the 18mm f2. You'll be using it stopped down, so why pay for the faster aperture and have to carry a heavier lens?

Because the 18mm f/1.4 is several orders of magnitude sharper across the frame at any aperture, no CA, great sunstars.etc.

Fair enough. I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't know.

'Orders of magnitude' sounds a bit hyperbolic though
