Canon ef 16 35mm f 2 8l ii usm vs sigma 14 24mm f 2 8 dg hsm art?

Both are fast f/2.8 full-frame zooms with autofocus and no stabilisation, so the choice comes down to field of view and mount.

The Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG HSM Art goes wider, starting at 14mm against the Canon's 16mm. That extra width is what I'd want for big landscapes and interiors, where the focal length guide puts ultra-wide work. It also comes in a Nikon F mount as well as Canon EF.

The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is Canon EF only. It's a sensible choice if you want a Canon-made lens and 16mm is wide enough for you. If you shoot a Canon APS-C body, the Sigma still gives you a wider frame there, as the sensor sizes page explains.

For most landscape work I'd pick the Sigma. If you're choosing a wide zoom for landscapes, check your body's mount first.
