I have a Canon 350D SLR, I'm currently doing alot of work for a building company and they are wanting me to photograph the interiors, what would be the best lense to use, I want to get as much in as possible.
Any suggestions?

Why do so many people spell Lens incorrectly. It's annoys me more than people who respond to posts without answering a question!
oops.

Canon 17-40mm f/4 L

10-20mm range would be nice for interior. i'd get a tokina wide lens.

So I need to be looking for one with a good wide angle of view then?
Not really up to speed on me SLR 'lenses' yet.

The 350 mounts EF-S lenses, so with those lenses you won't get the 1.6 crop factor as you do with regular lenses. In other words: 10mm will be 10 and not 16.
Also, on avarage they're a bit cheaper then most EF lenses.
Check out the 10–22 mm. Good range for thight indoor shooting.

(Mar 14 07, 15:25)Wide angle is architecture's best friend, but remember to read opinions and watch lots of samples before you buy. Some lenses have stronger barrel distortion at wide angle, that's bad for this type of shooting. You want nice vertical corners in your interiors, not fisheye-like effects.
I guess a decent tripod would be useful too.

PeterH, EF-S system is for crop x1.6 only, meaning 10mm is equivalent to 16mm fullframe. The difference from EF is that EF-S lenses are optimized for smaller sensor and don't fit fullframe cameras (or produce bad vignetting if they do).

I have 17-40mm f4 L and its perfect for landscapes etc but personally, the best lens I have used for interiors is the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5. Its fricken wide and the distortion is minimal especially compared to a fish eye etc.

for interiors yeah do the wide angle, but get a tripod and use the canon photostitch utility as well.
It works well, and with a 50mm it gives you panoramic shots with almost no distortion.

I have the Canon efs 10-22mm and I love it. I would highly recommend it.

My camera is a Canon EOS 350D SLR - will the lenses mentioned here be compatible with it?
Whats the minim 'mm' then - 10mm? Should I work from that when choosing a wide angle lens?
- morilla0
The EOS 350D Digital is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF lenses, including Canon’s EF-S lenses
- morilla0
you could also get the Sigma which is a little cheaper.
But I was told the Sigma isn't as sharp.

rafalski, I think you got it backwards. 10mm ef-s on an ef-s mount camera such as the 350d results in 10mm, not 16mm. Regular lenses, say at 10mm, on op's camera results in 16mm. As I wrote in my post. You can read about it the crop factor and the conversion here:
