Think landscape and wide-angle lenses come to mind. And not just a wide-angle: the wider the better. 28mm in 35mm format or 50mm for medium format is thought of as not wide enough for real landscape work.
Is this correct? Does landscape need such wide lenses? And what can one do with a telephoto lens?
In this article I discuss the use of different focal lengths in landscape photography. It certainly is not about 24mm vs. 28mm or do I need a 200 2.8. It is about wide-angle and telephoto and their relative merits. Regarding the effects, it is profitable to use customs, vivid, grayscale, Daylight, Cloudy, and Tungsten and most use with higher ISO than lower producing a light in dark pattern.
