I agree with those recommending the Samyang/Rokinon 14mm 2.8 UMC. Excellent lens for minimal investment. Of course your 17mm TS/E is an incredible lens, hard to beat it for UWA landscape.

Which Utah park(s) are you going to? Bryce is my favorite, but Arches, Zion and Canyonlands are awesome as well.

surapon, I believe you are the only one on CR have this disease ;D

No comment on the UWA lens, I think your 17-40 will be fine ;) Bring a tripod and keep that aperture f11 to f16. Enjoy your trip and don't forget to share your photos ;)

Surapon, you have most lengths covered. There are new and impending uwa lenses coming that I am lusting after too. You may want to consider going on the cheap with a Samyang 14mm. I have one and with a little practice, you will find that they put out an amazing image for about $300.00. Really, set it to about f8 and about 10 feet or so, play with iso and shutter speed, look at your image on the screen and your histogram and essentially everything is so sharp you won't believe it. When the new lenses come in (hopefully in the fall), you can either get those or stick with the cheapo, but excellent Sammy.

For Horseshoe Bend, you will need at least a 14 mm (a smidge long on full frame), and the 8 mm will be nice to have for this scene too. I agree with the tripod. By the way, you better not be afraid of heights, or you will loose your cookies here!

Just a thought.

Yes! I can't wait, I love this little lens and all it needs is some filters to make it even more awesome (yeah I know Samyang make their own ones but I want a Surapon DIY one!). :)
