Good wide angle lens for tight interior shots

djmindblender · 01-19-2010, 09:30 PM

All,

I am have had my k-x for a year and need a good wide angle lens for shooting tight interiors, bathrooms, kitchens. Sigma, Tamaron, Pentax I need some suggestions for the best shots. Many thanks in advance.

If it is within your budget, the Sigma 10-20 zoom is a good way to go. The zoom is very handy indoors because you cannot always back up. The 10mm comes in very handy too when you are in tight spots.

DA 12-24 f/4.0 - it ain't cheap, but it's a gem of a lens. I posted a few shots made with mine here

I'd suggesting browsing/searching this forum for the many existing threads where people have given their opinions on the major options and the tradeoffs between them: Pentax 12-24, 10-17, 14, 15 (and 21, but that's no wider than the kit lens) as well as the Tamron & Sigma options. It's a pretty frequently discussed topic, so there's quite a lot of info already here.
