Lenses
July 11th, 2010
The following table is a list of lens recommended for real estate photography. The primary criteria for choosing a lens and DSLR for real estate photography is that the lens/body combination has a 35mm effective focal length of between 16mm and 24mm. Before choosing a wide-angle lens be sure you understand crop factors and 35mm effective focal lengths. In addition to the Wikipedia article referenced above another good description of the way crop factors work on DSLRs is at kenrockwell.com.
The lenses are sorted in each manufacturer section by the overall lens quality rating (middle column) listed at www.slrgear.com. The numeric quality rating is a link to the slrgear.com lens review.
