I have an A6000 and want to take better landscape pictures. I have been looking at the 16mm Sony prime lens. My question is this: will I actually be getting the same field of view and focal distance as I would get using an a mount 16mm lens on a full frame camera like the Sony A7 models or a Canon dale setup? I know that when you compare e mount lenses with full frame lenses you have a 1.5 crop factor so that makes me think I would be actually getting the same field of view and focal point as a 24mm normal dale setup. Is this wrong or am I not understanding this whole crop factor thing wrong. I hope this is not a stupid question and I apologize if it is but I would appreciate any feedback from all you guys and girls out there. I also have a Olympus E500 that doesn’t have as good a sensor as the A6000 but it does have a 14-45 zoom and maybe I would be better off using that for my landscape photography. Any Olympus guys out there have an opinion on that !

This is an alternate suggestion that addresses your desire to take better landscapes.

Wider lenses are usually less desirable for landscapes due to increased extension distortion and volume deformation.

Many landscape photographers will take a series of overlapping images and merge them onto a panorama.

On a full frame I seldom use a lens shorter than 45mm for landscapes.

Before you spend any money it may behoove you to try your hand at panorama. You can use Microsoft ICE, a free application, to stitch the images you take.
