With my Canon 6D. Suggestions for a lens?
Thanks
EF 16-35 f/2.8L. At 16, should be wide enough to get entire rooms, at 35 you can highlight specifics within a room, such as a sink or light fixture
I agree with the 16-35 f/2.8. I am a real estate and architectural photographer. Most of my shots are composed at 24mm. It's important that you use a good tripod and I suggest a geared head. I use a manfroto 410 and 405.

I use the Tamron 15-30mm F2.8 VC, no distortion, extremely sharp and I have shot it hand held at 1/6 second using the stabilization as quite often you don't have space for a tripod.

Also, a tripod and maybe HDR.
I would most likely take my 20mm f/2.8

How do you correct the lens distortion? I'm a beginner in real estate and my photos, shot with a Tokina 16-28, all have perspective distortion especially apparent on the sides. Other RE photos, while taking in an entire room, have the distorted verticals corrected. What's the process?
Counter reply: having been looking to buy a new home to buy for over two months, we are very disgusted with extreme wide-angle room photos. After she saw my photos of our current home using FF 35mm lens, our agent offered to get me certified as a RE photographer in our area, but I doubted other agents would use me. I feel moving the camera around rooms presents a more accurate picture of what clients will see when they get to the house, including normal lawns rather than estate vistas of exterior shots. As a photographer, I understand the WA perspective issue, but to me it's misleading to create false expectations.
There are a few real estate photography experts here. I hope they chime in. Meanwhile, search the archives for topics involving real estate photography. You'll come up with a boat load of knowledge.
I keep the axis of the lens parallel to the floor. If that requires a higher tripod position, I can deal with that.
