Yea landscape photography is def not a thing

Just one question, you personally bring a ladder to your landscape shots? I am 180 cm or about 5ft11" and I have a near constant experience of whatever is in the corners being out of focus due to the near limit of DOF and that is primarily because the ground in front of me is not flat and not sloping away from me.

Few landscapes for you, notice how irrelevant the corners on all of them are:

Well, clearly you don’t do much archival of flat documents and brick wall photography. Corners matter. 😁

And I don’t want to lose even more resolution in the corners when I take pictures of my pictures.

RF 24-105 stm does brickwalls nicely at around 30 mm and up.
