Wide Angle Lens

[Brian Wylie]

Hi, I have been tasked by my boss to find a cheap alternative to paying £360+ for a wide angle lens for a Nikon D3300 to facilitate the photographing of rooms in properties we are currently selling/letting. The lens we are currently using is a Nikon AF-s Nikkor18-55mm3.5-5.6GII (DX VR) Any help would be greatly appreciated but please bear in mind I am not a photographer and may not know all the jargon employed in Photography.

Another thumbs up for the Sigma 10-20, a great lens.

Can't go wrong with the sigma, I loved mine.

For a DX camera (ie. crop sensor), your choice of lenses is fairly limited. For your application, though, the Sigma 10-20mm is a no brainer as it's a) cheap b) produces great images and c) is a rectilinear lens (ie. no bowed edges). I owned one myself for several years and loved it.

Yet another vote for sigma 10-20mm. Before I went full-frame this was possibly my favourite lens. Although I was warned at the time I was looking for one on the used market that there were some not-so-sharp examples about, so check anything you're offered carefully.

+1 for the Sigma, great lens for the money and welcome to the forum

Definitely the Sigma, however, don't forget that the perspective will be extended..... might make stuff that's at the end of the room look much smaller than it actually is!

Definitely agree with the sigma 10-20mm. I used to have one and only sold it because I moved to full frame
