strikeeagle801 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hello I need advice about wide-angle lenses. I am going to be shooting photos of new-build houses for a local construction company and need a wide-angle lens for the job. I don't know much about them, so I am looking for advice on what is a good lens to get. I'm not looking for top-of-the-line, but I want to get one that is going to do a decent job. I have a Canon 70D, so that tells you what mount I'm looking for. Thank you Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike_45 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Hey Aaron, I just picked up a Canon 10-22 mm wide angle lens for the same thing. I have shot one house with it so far. Does the job very nicely. I use mine on a 60D, they run about $600. Mike. Edited July 14, 2015 by mike_45 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volzj Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Aaaron, I also own the Canon 10-22. It is a good lens, although it is not without a fair amount of distortion. That being said, you get what you pay for, and it is a decent way to get really wide on a crop body like the 70D. Ideally for buildings/real estate you want tilt/shift lenses to avoid converging lines on taller structures where you have to tilt the camera up to get the entire building in the frame, but then you're getting into big $$.

Moose135 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I have the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens that I've used on my crop-sensor Canons. It's a superb lens, excellent image quality, and $150 less than the Canon crop-body wide angle. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/882235-REG/Tokina_atx116prodxc_ii_AT_X_116_PRO_DX_II.html Edited July 14, 2015 by Moose135 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thank you for the advice. I'll pass the recommendations on to my buddy. It seems like my aviation photography group on Facebook recommends the Canon 10-22 as well. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EXCELLENT piece of glass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
