Is the canon ef s 18 200mm f 3 5 5 6 is good for landscape?

It's a reasonable landscape lens, though not a great one. On APS-C its 18mm end frames like about 29mm on full frame, which is not very wide. My landscape guide suggests a wide zoom around 10-24mm on APS-C for big skies and strong foregrounds, so you may find this one a little tight for grand vistas.

The long end is more useful. At 200mm (about 320mm full-frame equivalent), it's good for picking out layers of hills, a lone tree, or light on a distant ridge. The f/3.5-5.6 aperture doesn't matter much here, since you'll usually stop down to f/8 or f/11 anyway. Image stabilisation helps when you're shooting handheld.

It's a sensible all-in-one for a walking trip. If landscape is your main subject, pair it with a dedicated wide zoom. The Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS page lists the APS-C bodies it fits.
