@ FNQGU, that looks like a great lens to me for landscape, as for you unanswered question, I honestly think you will find a better answer reading the comments posted in the link you provided, as these are people that own and use the lens, in reality, its impossible to judge any lens purely on its specs, so unless someone has actually used it in practice, I doubt they will really have much to offer in the way of accurate advice on what the lens is (or isn't) "really" capable of.
@ LaughingBeagles, I have to agree with Fractster on the Raw v jpeg thing, when I first started out, I shot 100% raw, mostly because I thought ,if I do manage to accidentally take best shot in the world, I want it to be the best quality my camera can produce.
Whilst I 99% of the time do shoot on Manual mode, I now "only" ever shoot jpeg , although Ive never shot a Wedding, I can see clearly why raw would be worth while for such a important paid job, but in the reality of my every day shootings, pretty much agree with everything Fractser said above about raw v jpeg, and I personally feel, I want to hone my skills creating great shots with the "Camera", NOT my PC.
I should add, this is my unprofessional "opinion" only, and as with any form of "art", you do what you feel happy and comfortable with, and do what you need to do to create something you like, I don't think there are any hard and fast rules, just what suits your style, that's what makes Photography great, the same camera can do different things for different people.
LaughingBeagles, please do NOT leave this thread alone, yours and everyone else's opinion is greatly appreciated here, it great you take/took the time to reply, and I thank you for that, people will all always have a difference in opinion, and other people can learn much from "different" views, please do not take Fractsers passionate response (or anyone elses, including mine) as anyway aggressive, im sure Fractser would be dis-heartened to find you may feel that way about his post, I can assure you (without conversing with Fracster) it would not be his intention to put anyone down in any way, sometimes the intermernet thing can be misleading like this.
