one simple question and one thousand different replies...
If money is not an obstacle then the Zeiss Planar T* 85/1.4 ZE is hard to beat. The Planar construction is optimized at medium to infinity focusing distance, lens sweet spot is at f/4 to f/5.6
I have made gigapanoramas and landscapes at f/5.6 to f/11 with excellent results. Of course you need to pay attention to depth of field, stop down to achieve sufficient DoF and bring detail.

I think metallaro1980 can decide for himself which focal length he wants to use for landscape. Many FL's are used for landscape, from fisheye to 200mm or longer (not just wideangles...).
I think the Contax Sonnar 85/2.8 could be good for landscape. The Contax Sonnar 100/3.5 is reputedly sharper and bit more so across the frame, but that obviously isn't a 85mm. Both the Contax or new Zeiss ZE 85/1.4 and 100/2 (esp. the latter) are better but require a higher budget.
I don't know much about infinity performance of other 85's. I'm sure there are some plenty sharp 85/90mm's from other brands, but IMO the Contax/Zeiss is one of the best choices to extract a lot of detail from landscapes because of the high microcontrast their lenses have.
The Canon TS-E 90/2.8 may be one to consider too.  |

I like that lens a lot. Drawback is, that you will need an adapter, that might be more expensive, than many other adapters and it is not a small lens.

If I were you.
Would buy a P6 lens. Like the Vega or Volna.
Then the P6->EOS tilt shift adapter.
That way you will get more control on your plane.
These lenses are cheap and very well built.
(Loving my Vega).

How does the new Korean lens marketed by Vivitar, Falcon, and others compare to the other classics?
By the way, the Vivitar (Tokina) 90mm Series 1 is actually 87mm and famously sharp.

I can advise Biometar 80/2.8 from P6. I suppose never tested that it haven't problems with corner to corner sharpness. Not so pricey and with good adapter is infinity maintained.

If you do a search here on "Samyang 85mm" you'll get lots of hits, many with photos. It is a very impressive lens.

Voigtlaender Apo-Lanthar 3.5/90
You get sharpness + no purple fringes on high contrast edges
(which you would get from non-apo lenses)
Hard to beat as landscape lens.

For landscapes, consider slower 85mm lenses like Contax Zeiss Sonnar 85/2.8 (C/Y mount) or the already mentioned Voigtlaender Apo-Lanthar 90/3.5.

Try an enlarger lens in the 80-105mm range, on bellows. My favorites are an Apos Elgeet 90/4.5 and a Novoflex Noflexar 105/3.5. Hooded, of course. Or for more versatility, a Schneider Betavaron 50-125 enlarger zoom. For B&W 'scapes with an old-time feel, I may use a Zeiss Tessar 80/2.8 that likely came from an old Ikonta, and a light violet filter to emulate early film emulsions. More conventionally, my Vivitar-Komine 90/2.8 macro is a gem.

I would say Volna-3.
Closing at f5.6 or f8, some others are very good from corner to corner.
Samyang 85 1.4.
Even the Helios-40 is to consider from f5.6 to f11.

I would suggest Leica Elmarit-R 90mm late version. I have not compared it to CZ 85/2.8 but it is highly regarded and photodo rates it among the best. |

Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.8D
It's a full frame lens, has virtually no CA or distortion, and superb sharpness.
You can get a Nikon -> EOS converter, and manually focus it.
