Shown above is the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens. This is the
fastest 11mm wide-angle lens available for APS-C
DSLR Cameras
T
his can make a cramped room or even a
closet look spacious, it turns a regular bed into a king-size
mattress, or makes a living room look spacious. Keep
the film plane vertical to avoid warping straight
lines. There is some
distortion with such a lens
(objects in the corners are stretched), use a
10-20mm zoom
and a 18-20mm for larger rooms.
There are pitfalls to using wide angle
for every shot. In doing so you might ignore
interesting details: the unique character of some
interiors can be found in smaller areas or objects,
or even close-ups. And viewing a portfolio with 100%
wide angle and no variety can become somewhat tiresome.
For exteriors you're going to need a lens you can use with a
circular polarizer and a
graduated neutral density filter |
