DXO's View2 does a good job and I especially like the filter in PSCC used for distortion correction. The best distortion correction, in my opinion, is shooting panos vertically and adjusting from there. The best reason to provide high quality images in architectural real estate photography is for the listing agent to show his/her client that they have enlisted a top quality agent to represent them. High quality images also show prospects that they are dealing with a high quality agent or firm. Very few homes sell over the internet but many potential buyers and , yes, sellers peruse the internet on Realtor.com to get accurate information. Realtor.com is usually linked directly to local MLS data bases and are updated when the listing is updated by the listing agent. The other real estate links are way behind and often outdated.

Saproo, David Pine mentioned "distortion". I agree. Take your camera to a store or to a friend's that has the len(s) that you are considering. Take photos of the straight (vertical) wall/windows to the outside edge of your photo. While I 'think' that you can get rid of distortion in Post Processing, it is time consuming.
So, check distortion before you purchase. You'll be happy that you did.

Thanks Jerry. I've looked at that one also, along with the Tamron 10-24. Just can't decide which would be best at lowlight.
It shouldn't matter- you'd be foolish not to set your shots up carefully using a good tripod, with supplemental slave flashes as needed to even out dark areas- unless you want to look like all the cheap photogs with point and shoot cameras rushing thru taking snaps.

an alternative, tripod, brackets, fusion, will eliminate dark spots, smooth exposures, evenly lighted. Just a thought.

Canon EFS to EF adapter made by Canon for $15.00? That would be a good price. Canon (& Nikon) adapter prices are typically overpriced. Was that used or new?
I don't need it for Nikon. I was interested in the event I bought a used FF Canon later. I use both N & C systems.

No, it is not actually an adapter. It is a baffle, or mount that you order from Canon. You pop off the old one and pop on the new one....that's it! Here is a link to a video that tells you just how to do it and what the name of the part is. I even contacted Ben by email with some questions and he answered.

This works like a charm, but you will get heavy vignetting at 10 to 14 or 15 mm, but you don't need to go that wide anyway.

I find that the sellers care about the windows. They want perfect shots because that is what they are attracted to when they view homes on line. I give them a window view and an interior view in almost all my shots.

I believe that this can also be accomplished with an extension tube, but check with Canon technical support.
