Recommendations for the best landscape lens on Canon EOS R6?

Question

honestly so fed up with my kit lens the corners are just mushy garbage every time i try to shoot landscapes. I thought the 24-105 would be fine but its ruining my shots and I leave for Zion in five days. My logic was to save money but now I need a sharp wide angle for under $1200... what actually works on the R6?

^ This. Also, look into a used Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM with the adapter. Its legendary for edge-to-edge sharpness and should easily fit your budget. I use it on my R6 and honestly have zero complaints. Since youre hiking Zion, grab a Breakthrough Photography 77mm X4 CPL Filter to really pop the colors in the canyon. Youre gonna love the views!

To add to the point above: i’ve been using the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM on my R6 for a bit and i’m super satisfied. No complaints about sharpness anymore.

Grab a refurbished Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM to stay under that $1200 limit

Or use the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM with an adapter for a cheaper but very sharp alternative

Both lenses work well and beat the kit glass easily.

Ngl those mushy corners are the worst, totally agree that the kit lens just doesnt cut it for big vistas. I would suggest looking at a dedicated ultra-wide prime if you want that edge-to-edge detail.

be careful with lens flare in the desert

make sure to check the total weight You might want to consider renting if you cant find a good deal in time!
