Hello everyone! I'm a realtor and am taking my own photographs of the interior of homes I list. I have a Canon 3T Rebel and need a wide-angle lens. I purchased an inexpensive one for $25 but I get too much distortion. Any suggestions for a better wide angle lens for a nonprofessional that wants professional looking pictures?

Don't know if they make it with a Canon mount, but I use a Tokina 11-16. Of course, with any very wide angle lens there will be some curvature. This can be corrected later on the computer. Welcome to the forum.

Thx. Do you suggest photoshop on computer for fixing distortion or other software?

I use a Tokina 12-24 mm on my Nikons. It's a great WA & it is made to fit Canons. :D

I own and use a canon 10-22mm lens with great results, but with any wide angle lens you will get some distortion. With the use of Adobe Lightroom you can correct to a certain degree.

This one has great reviews. It attaches to your 18-55 kit lens.

That would work. I like to use Lightroom. I think it gives you more control.

The Tamron 11-18mm provides excellent results at a very good price point.
