Is this a good lens for interiors for real estate photos

Good question. Unfortunately, I've only used it for a short period of time and that was always outdoors. It's probably enough wide angle for indoors, but not so sure how good it would be in low light situations like indoors, especially if you're using them for something so important like real estate photos. Wish I could be more help.

Did you end up getting this camera for real estate photos? I am looking to purchase it for the same reason...would you recommend?

I would assume so. The width at 10mm (16mm for most sensors) does not present too much distortion and encompasses quite a bit of view.

It could handle it. Of course, it'll depend on the size of the room, where you're shooting from and what you want to highlight. In a 12 x 14 room, I can easily get half the room, while centered on the short wall.

I have no doubt you could see the house but the question is quality. That is a good lens and i use it at my church to take pictures during the services, however the lighting they have in there is very good so it it easy to get clean shoots. Using this lens to take night shoots of lights on a house is doable but I would suggest lowering the shutter speed of the camera and use a tripod to ensure the best results. This probably would not be my primary use for the lens but if u do it right it should work.

Excellent, I use this lens for interior shots almost all the time. I'm extremely happy with the results

I haven't used this lens specifically for portraits only for long distance shots indoors and outdoors. It worked well for those purposes.

It is an excellent lens for close ups and distances when there is good light environment, but not for low light situations, unless you have a flash. For indoors would be better a f/2.8 lens or less (f/1.2 or 1.4).

I can't speak to that, but I'm fairly finicky about the glass I use (I mostly shoot olympus m4/3 primes), and I really like this 75-300 lens. With good light, you can get some stunning images of wildlife, landscapes, and the moon! I've even used it indoors (with the olympus 600r) and gotten some fantastic shots as well. Olympus used nice glass in this lens. While it's not going to be on my camera every day, it's great for specific applications.

I have this lense and a Canon 6D. I have used it indoors for volleyball and basketball games. You will need the ISO Iin the 3200-6400 range, but the photos are very good even at that ISO.

I used this lens to create an online brochure while selling my home. The 12 mm setting was absolutely essential. All the potential buyers were very positive about the quality. There was one dissenter who stated that the photos made the home look better than real life.

Oh, I'll add this:"Great for indoor" yeah that's matketing lingo for "this lens has a big, fast maximum aperture of f2."All lenses are mostly "good for outdoors/broad daylight". But faster max apertures can suck in more light than others which is particularly useful A) if you want amazing bokeh and shallow depth of field (B) you're inside and have horrid light and the extra 2-3 stops will get you the shot.

I use this lens primarily for architectural photos. But I imagine it would be ok. It's not the fastest lens in its class, so if stopping action in low light is an issue, you may want to consider that.

I own this lens and use it for good general snaps. If I were shooting indoors looking for the best result I would have a 20-35 2.8, a 501.8 and an 80-200 2.8

This lense works great for action outdoors with a lot of light. We use fixed 1.8 for indoors

While the lens will work for anything, if you are going to shoot weddings for a living you need something faster for shooting with available light or really good strobe units in which case this lens would be fine.

In my experience, the lens is a mixed bag for interior shots. The great part is 28mm (equiv) can capture a lot of interior space but I have to increase the ISO to capture a shot depending on lighting conditions. The 20mm is a great lens (which I totally regret selling). The drawback is that you capture less interior space because of the 40mm (equiv) focal length. But it works great in low light. Try to get a Gen 1 20mm as DXOMark says its sharper than the 2nd gen model. I had the 1 gen. model and it was tack sharp.

The lens has a built in AF motor, so it should. Double check with Sigma to be sure. BTW, I usually focus with the distance scale for low light indoor stationary subjects. I mainly photograph real estate interiors, and find this works better than AF, especially with a DOF table.

I use this lens with a Nikon D5100 and have found that it focuses quite fast indoors but I have shot mainly my kids lego tournament and choir in gyms. Others have taken basketball and volleyball photos - check out photos posted to pixelpeeper.com and the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 HSM group on flickr.com

20mm would be much better for indoor. The 14mm is a great companion anywhere, but the 20mm is a better choice for low light and indoor photography. It's rare that you'll need a wide angle indoors, unless you live in a castle or mansion. My guess is you've asked this question because you want to take photos of people. So get the 20mm.
