How is this lens for taking interior real estate photos for marketing purposes?

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

I can't say as how well it would work for interior real estate photos as I use it for landscapes, which it is great for, it is not a fast lens, f3.5-4.5, so you mite need another light source for interior work.

It's a good wide angle lens for full frame cameras that is less expensive than the 14-24f2.8 or a tilt shift lens (for real estate). It's not as fast as the f2.8 lens however, but using a tripod can solve that. If you are using a crop frame camera (i.e. not a D3, D4, D800, D600, etc), then you don't need this, as it provides similar results to the kit 18-55mm lens.

The f/stop values (3.5-4.5G) mean that it would be best to use this lens with flash to get optimal performance. Stopped down to 18 mm will give you enough of a wide angle to capture a larger room, however you might want to purchase one of the Nikon Speedlight flash units so you can bounce the light off the ceiling to get a more uniformly lit image, especially in larger rooms./= I mainly take portraits of people indoors without flash and I use the AF-S 35 mm f/1.4G for this.

My wife is a Realtor, and i do all the photos for her listings. This lens is excellent for interior photos. I almost always use a tripod with two or three remote flashes. Just make sure you keep the lens level, especially at the wide setting.

It is a portrait lens. Takes really nice photos, but not necessarily professional. I use it all the time as a amateur photographer.

If taken outdoor pictures then this will be wonderful lens. I do most landscape and occasionally indoor portraits. It give you very sharp pictures and autofocus is so quick at dark environment. Remember this is a prime lens, not 24-70 nor 70-200 mm F2.8, you have to be very creative and zoom in/out by your foot. I sold mine Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 to get this one and no regret (I like the Sigma very well and was too heavy when hiking, nothing wrong with that lens, just to clarify)

I am thinking about purchasing the t1i...I am in the Real Estate business and have very little photography experience. I will be shooting mainly indoors/condos 10x10 rooms with 9ft ceilings..lots of white and minimal light narrow hallways, mirrors, direct sun on balconys. tile floors. granite counter tops stainless steel appliances, usually dark wood furniture etc...which lens for this type of setting...will be posting on websites and sending direct to clients.

This is a wide angle lens intended for taking pics of scenery and architecture. It's not optimal for taking pictures of people, but at 22mm it is capable without a doubt.

It will do well for portraits and close-up macro photography with enough light. I do like this lens for what it delivers for its price. It does hunt in low-light though, but if you know its application it is fine.

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.

I am also a REALTOR and so was looking for a camera to take good interior shots. I like the camera...it is heavier and a little larger than I thought it would be but still compact and functional.

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.

The Image Quality of this lens is phenomenal. My Key Points that makes this lens Better than the 28-300:-Razor Sharp-Compact/light weight-1.8/f aperture for indoor photography-Having it a prime isn't as versatile, but creates a creative atmosphere for you to be challenged. -Good for Group shots, as well as portraits-Did I mention it has a GOLD RING on it? :D-Little distortion, but what do you expect from anything under 35mm-It is my to-go travel lens because I am most likely going to take scenic pictures and not birds-Shallow depth of field and the bokeh is awesome! with little natural Vignetting, I think it is a bit pleasing.

I used the lens extensively for landscape photos but also for interiors. It works pretty well with reduced, if any, distortion. Colors are consistent with white balance settings. Highly recommended also for interiors photos from "strange" or "naive" perspectives such as very high or very low positions, e.g. floors and ceilings to produce a different view of the rooms. Good photos also without any tripod by increasing the ISO to 800 and switching on the lights even with NO FLASH.

Honestly I don't think this would be the best solution for real estate photography because of the fixed focal length that's wide but not super wide. I would suggest a good entry level dslr with a wide angle lens and a decent tripod as a starting set up. If you get more serious into real estate photography, a tilt shift lens would be a good next investment after that.

It's a solid lens with good range. If you plan on using it outside, then the lighting should be ample to take the type of shots you're seeking. I have found that indoor shooting is not its strength. But the shots I've gotten are clear and I've been pleased with it. The additional range has come in handy.

Yes, I do landscape photography and some interior home photography as well. This lens works perfectly for capturing rooms, hallways, bathrooms, you name it.

The lens does not have a large aperture so is not terribly fast and you will have to turn up your ISO to shoot indoor sports unless the lighting is good. But it will work. That being said, it is very smooth and quiet for shooting video when used with the 70D. You may be better off with a prime lens that has a larger aperture for indoor sports. This lens would work best for outdoor sports.

No, this is perfect for portraits, unless you have been using a 105mm. Lense is a little bit heavier than if you went with fixed focus, but the 24-70 is just perfect for indoors & the f/2.8 let's you keep you ISO at about 200 & still shoot without flash. WARNING: Don't use lens hood with on-camera flash at less than 45mm. You will get a shadow at the bottom of picture.

It's ideal as a lens for discreet indoor use, such as at parties and events. It's small, allowing your camera to fit more easily in a pocket or purse, it's wide angle for taking in a scene, and it's fairly fast at f/2.8, allowing image capture without flash in many cases
