Landscapes? I'd be using large format with tilts and very fast film to
wind out the fastest shutter speed possible. If I had to use 35mm, I
guess it would be Canon TSE. Use the tilts to retain DOF with large
apertures.

I hope that doesn't mean you are another one of those that compares a
Canon zoom to a Leica prime and then wonders why the Leica is so good.
