In this thread LINK AndyA was wondering if his landscapes would benefit from using a 17-40 to gain additional width to the scene. That is a greater width than he gets with his 24-105.
The attached images (record shots really and not well processed) will give some idea of how much more width the 17-40 gives a photographer. I though I had the 17-40 set at 17mm but the exif in LR is showing it at set at 19mm! but you can still see the additional width available.
With both images I had the camera resting on a fence post, not very technical but ...it allowed my to captuure similar composition. Notice in the first image you can see the shadow of the next fence post to my right. In the second image with the 17-40 as well as the first fence post to my right you can also see the "Brides" shadow!
The other width indicator is the tree line on the RHS see how much more is in shot to the right of the sheep. Aye Lad tha knows about sheep in Yorkshire
