Best Wide Angle Lens for interior shots
 

I know this is kinda off topic as I am looking for interior shots but what would you guys consider to be the best wide angle lens to get the best interior shots.

For digital a 12 - 24 mm f/4G DX ED-IF. If you are on a more resonable budget a AF-S DX 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED will do too. Refrain from crap like Sigma and Tokina.

Thanks a bunch!

Which camera? (or at the least, lens mount)

Despite what Jenny S says, the Sigma 12-24mm can be a good lens... just make sure you buy it from somewhere where you can actually mount a couple to pick the best one. I believe it's currently the widest angle full frame 35mm lens.

I refuse to buy anything from Sigma.

When I researched purchasing my Nikon D80, I tried it with a Nikkor, and then with a Sigma.

The Focus time alone made me buy it with a Nikkor.

It's really sad, I even got it into an infinite focus loop.

Reminds me when I bought my old Canon EOS, and bought it with Sigma Lenses.

I remember how I always used manual focus because I could not depend on the automatic focus to work.

It's always a good idea to 'try' your lenses before you buy them, to make sure they will work for you in your situation in a pinch.

It's horrible to loose out on a picture because your Camera and or brand new purchase fails on you.:2 cents:

See above... I've used a Sigma 12-24mm (on a Canon) and loved it. That particular lens has an ultrasonic motor so the focussing is quick and quiet.

The reason I no longer have it is because it was stolen.

I ended up with a 10-22mm for my Canon 30D

bet you can snatch this up

for a decent price - it is a 400$ lens

i need a new short focal lenght lens aswell but not looking to spend 400$ :-/

lol, so you ignored everything in this thread anyway. :winkwink:

I checked and the Sigma EF 12-24 sells for the same price as the Canon EF-S 10-22mm at my local shop. You do realise that the EF-S mount can only be used on the 10D/20D/30D/300D/350D/400D bodies? If you ever upgrade to a full frame sensor such as the 5D then you will not be able to use the EF-S 10-22mm... but you can use the EF 12-24mm. :thumbsup

I had to use a gift card up and that is the only lens they had that would work for us.
