90% of success in landscape photography is in composition, the choice of lens is secondary.
A great way to get a feel for landscapes is to visit places, just get out and capture a few local scenes if you can't travel much. at different times of day, in different weather, and get used to your camera settings and lenses, as well as the in-camera HDR (I think Pentax does a very good job with this) and pixel shift.
I agree, this is a great all-around zoom lens, with fine landscape performance in the most often used FL range of 18-50mm, far better than the 18-55mm kit lens, if you can swing it financially. It is also very fine over an even greater FL range, since you'd be stopping down to f/8-11 anyway. It has WR, and its AF is quiet, exceptionally accurate and fast. It is also amazingly compact for its zoom range, in keeping with the KP's compact design.
But for WA, I would sure snag that Sigma lens- quite a deal at the price offered.
