Photography For Real Estate

I get asked this question all the time and there are an amazing number of Google searches this site catches with these question as the search term.

Of coarse there is no simple answer. The answer depends on your budget and what kind of DSLR body you have. I use to have a real estate camera table that listed a number of choices for real estate cameras. But I discontinued it about a year ago because it had a bunch of point-and-shoot cameras on the list and I wanted to stop recommending any point and shoot cameras. I’ve decided to build a list of DSLRs and a list of wide-angle lenses. In keeping with my theory that your wide-angle glass is the most important piece of equipment a real estate photographer owns I’ve started to build a wide-angle lens table first.

Each lens has a link to check the price and I’d like to give the lens a rating link in the center column but I have to find way to give all the lenses in the list a rating. This may be a mixture of lens rating sites… haven’t decided yet. My goal is to bring together all the information one needs to know to make an intelligent decision on which wide-angle lens to buy.
