I've added which lens I used to text on some of my landscape shots here if it helps.

From my experience I would suggest following :-

18-70mm kit lens is a good budget choice to cover most scenarios for shots.
10-20mm lens for when most of detail is in foreground. It takes quite a while to get used to how wide this lens is & for landscape everyhting in the distance becomes a small dot.
70-210mm - apart from some tight crops of landscape, the B&W shot I took on Cleeve Hill was a portion of distant landscape that required this focal length.

So in summary I think 18-70mm would be a good starting point & then decide if the ultra wide shot is required or not.

Note I'm a novice with landscape shots, so the more seasoned guys/gals may have some better advice.

By copy Mods, this is an example where the facility to search for members photo's based on EXIF lens info would be of great benefit. I know it's on the way.....sooner the better
