Could you use this lens to take wide angle shots for room interiors or will they come out with the "fish eye" look to them.

Yes, it will give the room a fish bowl effect. Not good if you are trying to show a space off and make it look bigger.

there is definitely a slight bend to the photo, but it's not as extreme as some other fish eyes. there's a youtube vid that shows you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2aK8UvBZ2k

Not sure what your camera came with, but I use a AF5 Nikkor18-55mm for almost all indoor shots and they are great! I love my camera and have just about every lens you can have.

Yes because the objective lens is quite wide (allowing for more light to enter - thus good for indoor use), but the piece is somewhat bulky and has some weight to it. If that's not an issue then yes, it would function well indoors where light is an issue.

Hi Rameez, Fisheye and wide angle lenses can cause a bit of bluriness on the edges of photos as the lens "bends" the image. This is a natural effect of a wide angle/fisheye lens. While we do receive mostly positive reviews for these lenses, I understand it may not be for everyone. The important thing to note is that a very high quality lens can cost several times more than the value of this lens. We try to offer products at a low cost for photographers who want to get more out of their camera or try something new but aren't yet ready to pay the high costs associated with professional items. Also, we really hope that customers give our products a shot and that is why we offer a 90 Day Satisfaction Guarantee on all our products, so that they may try out the products for themselves and judge if it is up to their standards. Have a great day. Walter DIGITAL GOJA

Yes, You can replace the standard lens with the wide angle. It is necessary to split the case, remove the camera from the board ,loosen the set screw and unscrew the lens. Here is a link for how to do it. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25880644&postcount;=1984Here is another good article http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1904559Hope this helps!

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.

This lens probably isn't wide enough for your needs. Unfortunately, the wider ones (11-18) are slower. And forget using a camera attached flash for those wide shots. Flash will NOT fill the area. Therefore, this may be the best present solution. A very wide, fast lens is difficult to find. If there is one, cost will be high. I have used a 11mm, room light, high ISO to capture a large room.

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.

No, not really, however if you have any plans to buy the wide angle attachment ring, or the fish eye attachment ring, you must have the 16mm lens. They are made to compliment those add on lenses. If you need a lens to work a very small room, (or think booth), you will need that lens. The 16mm mounts with the regular "E" mount, while the wide angles fit on a special lip that only the 16 comes equiped with. Good shooting.

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.

I have both of these lenses and the 16-50mm f/2.8 is wide enough to take indoor real estate photography. I had the 11-18 first but I have not used it since I bought the 16-50mm and there is not much difference on the wide angle shots. I used the 16-50mm about 95 % time and my 11-18 and 70-300 telephoto about 5% of the time on my A77 Sony Camera. I am thinking of selling my 11-18mm because it is just sitting in my camera bag.

You will have the ring around the picture, but the wide angle is perfect for house interiors, and I think the ring makes it look more professional. I am in real estate, and I have had many complements from other agents on house nice the pictures show the whole house. Great product for the price!

The lens is not that great for taking portraits, but we tried indoor telephoto shots with some success. since it doesn

No idea really. I watched a video on You Tube about the Panasonic wide angle lens and the presenter mentioned that one might have to use an out rig set up. That's all I know about it.

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

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