Prairies, deserts, mountains, I like em all, and shoot em all. I get almost no use from the 100/105mm focal length for landscapes. Longer, yes, though I don't own a 135. I prefer the 150mm to the 135 for some reason. Wider, fer sure, the 77 is a nice landscape lens, very close to the 210mm on 4x5, which is my favourite landscape focal length, in fact. The whole sweeping panoramic thing is terribly over rated, I tend to not shoot much shorter than standard focal length either. YMMV. William Robb
