I just sold my Tokian 11-16, then got offered a real-estate gig

Hi, me again..

So I just sold off my 11-16 2.8 I yesterday, and I woke-up to a job offer in my email for a real-estate gig and site inspections.

I still have a Tamron 17-50 2.8 II (listed for sale also). Will it be wide enough?

probably not. I know I've done some photos of bathrooms at 24mm and it wasn't wide enough. I had to rent a 17-40 for a few sessions.... 17mm is equivalent to 27.2mm on a crop..

Nope...I want the 11-16 lol.

Can you rent one? It shouldn't be that expensive if they are paying for the gig.

I have Tamron 17-35 f2.8 and it's definitely not wide enough for a small room on my 60D.

Shoot! I owned the 11-16 for over a year and took it out ONCE! I thought I would be doing more landscapes, but I never had time to go out and find the right scene. So I sold it thinking I would be better off with some cash towards a lens that will get used more, rather than having it sit and gather dust. Doh!

I guess I could rent, I don't know where to find a place to rent one from around here though

I have a Tamron 11-24mm that I am not using and (not very actively) trying to sell..

Heya,

14mm Rokinon? Only $300ish. Would do what you need. It's only 3mm difference from the 11mm Tokina, but at like 60% of the cost. Otherwise, if you're doing indoor housing and stuff, I would invest in the Canon 10-22mm on a crop, to help control flare in case you get into some big lighting issues in a house.

Very best,

3mm on the wide side is pretty major when it comes to FOV differences.

What kind of gig and inspections? I do real estate inspections, and find the clients aren't looking for wall hanger type photos, and a cell phone camera suffices for most of the requirements. If it's commercial photography with real estate as the subject, then it's different.

you can rent from lensrentals.com or borrowlenses.com

Rent or you might be stuck stitching multiple shots.

For interiors you're going to be using off-camera flash. So get the Canon 10-22 or the sigma 10-20 - the extra 1mm really does make a difference.

Just checked borrowlenses (who has multiple pickup locations nationwide...one of their two main locations is only 2 miles from me) three different brand/model lenses that are 10mm at widest, and two Tokinas at 11mm and 12mm widest, all non-fisheye. Prices range from $19 for 3 days (Tokina 12-24mm) thru $33 for 3 days (10mm-20something zooms)
