Pretty much any lens will do you for panoramic landscape shots. It doesn't need to be particularly fast. It doesn't need to be particularly wide. And since most lenses are decently sharp when you stop them down to f/8, it doesn't need to be particularly expensive. The "kit" lens which came with your camera should be fine.
I've taken loads of panoramics with my trusty Sigma 18-200mm jack-of-all-trades lens. Most often the focal length I use turns out to be around 25-40mm and I tend to use f/8 unless I have a good reason not to, which suggests that a typical 18-55mm-ish kit lens (I'm not familiar with the Sony one, but I expect they're all similar) would get the job done just fine.
For panoramics, technique (manual exposure, manual WB, overlapping, stitching etc) is far more important than equipment.

do you mean for stitching shots together?then yes,as stated..almost any lens will do,but if you mean to take a landscape shot as in one shot,then your 18-70 kit lens will do the job nicely(assuming you have one).
