Is the pentax hd da 18 50mm f 4 5 6 dc wr re good for landscape?

It's a reasonable start for landscapes, but not a standout. Its wide end is 18mm, which on APS-C frames like about 27mm on full frame. That's useful for a scene, but it's not very wide, and at f/4-5.6 it isn't bright. Landscape work is slow and usually done on a tripod, so the lack of stabilisation doesn't matter much here. See landscape for what matters in a camera for this kind of shooting.

If you're going to use it for landscapes, these bodies work with it:

• Pentax K-1 Mark II: this lens runs in APS-C crop mode on it, at fewer megapixels.
• Pentax K-3 Mark III: a native APS-C body, so the lens works as it's designed to.

For a broader view of which lenses to build around, see lenses.
