The Sigma looks like a good one. I think I probably just need to rent first and see how they do before I purchase.
Have you tried shooting a pano and stitching? Some folks do that.

I use a Sony 16-35 f4 on a full frame for real estate, and it’s never let me down.
I was thinking that is where I need to start. Thanks for your input!

Hi Susieq251,
I am a Real Estate Broker and amateur (semi, i do get paid for a few of my shots). The WOW factor that many love to achieve is by using UWA lenses; on a FF A7m2, that would mean wider than 17 or 18 mm. Most rooms do not require this extreme lenses. I, for one, am sick of seeinf HDR 30" ranges looking like six foot ranges and sinks elongated to impossibility and floors/ceilings angling up and down.
I suggest youtubing Norman Cool or buying his books. Now, to your lens situation, Viltrox has a manual 20mm 1.8 lens that was reviewed favorably by many. At $400. or so it is a good value. Especially compared to the Sigma 20mm. I have a 7Rm2 and use, with Sony adaptor a 10-20mm apsc zoom. I use it without vignetting and at about 20mpx instead of 41mpx. Even at a lower resolution, if you use the 10-20 Sigma (used about $250.00) you will have a range of control and get your technique down pat. Then you can shine. My 24mm - 70 mm works fine as well in normal rooms and exteriors.I assume you are a real estate agent and want to control your pictures. Most MLS pix are limited to 5 mbs. So a smaller resolution would be fine. Get a good tripod, a wireless remote, a manual speedlight or two with triggers and have fun. For MLS your Camera at reduced resolution will provide you good, if not superb, pictures. Buy used lenses and have a productive career.

Excellent choice for full frame. On the little less expensive side is the lenses by Sigma but they would require the MC-11 adapter or the Sony LA-EA4 depending on the lens.

Are you confirming what I heard, that the APS-C 10-20mm Sony lens actually works full frame with no vignetting?

Yes, the Sony A7r2 and other ILCE shave a crop sensor mode, i lose megapixels, but...BTW, my Sigma is an A mount and I use the Sony adapter. If Susieq251 found an E mount APSC lens, she should be able to use it at FF, just smaller mpx. MTshooter, has a great deal for an e mount 16-35 zoom, I wish I could afford it. Oh well, the flexibility that the Sony FF E mount cameras offer is amazing. If the OP had a Nikon WA, she could use an adaptor and solve much of her problem. BTW, for Real Estate photography, AF and AWB is NOT the way to go for consistent quality results.

I've heard that before too - but only up to about 17mm - good enough for the purpose.

Sigma now has versions that natively FIT - NO adapter.

I am looking for Sony E mount lenses. I have the 50mm but need a wide angle for real estate photography. Does anyone have one for sale? Recommendations on a good one for that purpose welcome
Sigma Art 16-24mm 2.8 sony fe is a fantastic lens or the Zeiss Batis 18mm 2.8. . Sigma is newer and $1399 while used batis 18mm in great condition can be had in the $1000 to $1100 range.
