BEST Real Estate Photography Lenses for Sony + Tips

[@GaryJahman]

Good video again Stefan! A client demanded me to bring a 14mm lens, but I did not had one at the time. I had the 16-35mm and the results were good. Later I asked him why he needed 14mm so badly, he replied "I do not know, I just copied these requirements from somebody else" Some clients do know what they need, but 95% simply don't

[@wings.on.wheels]

What about the new sony 20mm f1.8 G lens...

[@chryseass.5143]

Hey Stefan, I've got the Tamron 17-28, the Sony a7iii and a couple of good tripods.Since I am currently in my condo, both early in the morning and later in the afternoon, maybe I will try out some of your great real estate photographing tips for fun! Seems as good a way as any to deal with the self isolation and I might even pick up a brand new skill. Stay safe and I hope business picks right back up for you again as soon as we beat this thing together!

[@StefanMalloch]

Great idea! There's something oddly satisfying about real estate photography for me.

[@jonathanclma]

How about Laowa? They have many nice wide/ultra wide lens

[@Imlloydserrano]

Hi Stefan hope all is well. Would you recommend Sony A7R4 with 12-24MM F4 Sony lens? thank you

[@DreamChasersMediaGroup]

can you create a video explaining bracketing your photos for real estate

[@StefanMalloch]

What's your favorite Real Estate Lens?

[@gamerguy655]

16-35 GM my fav

[@lovegames8530]

Tamron for me

[@Thumpr110]

I’ve been using the Sigma 14-24/2.8 for a few months now. It’s incredibly sharp. My only complaint is wishing there was less distortion.

[@MrLiesAngeles]

24mm 1.4 G master. Perfect length in my opinion with a flash.

[@StefanMalloch]

Great lens but no where near wide enough imo. No need for f1.4 either.

[@elliottaleksndr]

Would you say the new 14mm f/1.8 GM is overkill for real estate? I shoot primes so it sounds like a option for real estate, in theory with small form factor for gimbals. Otherwise I’m looking at the Sigma 14-24.

[@olichka89]

I have a sony a 6400 its APS-C the sony 10-18 you mentioned is pricy. Is there any other options? Do you recommend adaptor if i get tamron 10-24 lens?

[@yarospringglory]

Ima real estate agent and photographer!! this was so perfect! THANKS BRO!! very well done video SUBED!!!

[@karllucaspindler5665]

Can someone explain to me what “bracket your photos” means. Did not understand video definition. Thanks.

[@kennethHuo]

2024, is 20-70 F4 a good option for real estate shooting

[@Yupthereitism]

Where are the pics?

[@pearce1984]

Where is the Batis 18mm ? That one is amazing for RE

[@alansarpy]

Stefan ... I Just picked up a MINT 16-35f4 Sony Ziess.. took a few test shot at 16mm in my place ... The distortion at 16mm is Horrible! I have yet to run the images through light room... Do you feel the 16-35gm is much better with distortion ? Thanks 🙏

[@polanialmoni6274]

Please, For real estate and architecture proffesional work, Is it well coorrected for straight lines? Distortion? Considering this or the sony 14 1.8 gm or Sigma.

[@MasoodJamal]

What do you suggest a bought wide angle lens for indoor Real Estate videography with Sony ZV-E10 camera ?

[@SamGenk]

I just got the e pz 18-105 mm f4 would this be good for a beginner in real estate photography?

[@ShotbySykez]

Could a Tamron 35mm 2.8 for Sony okay for starting lens for real estate??

[@StefanMalloch]

Not wide enough

[@ShotbySykez]

@@StefanMalloch faaawwwk 😫😅

[@Zion504HD]

To film houses do you need real estate license or just business license

[@StefanMalloch]

You definitely don't need a real estate license. Most likely just a business license depending on where you're from.

[@T.S.Photohraphy-Cinematography]

Which one of these lenses has less distortion? I want a good lens for photoshoot buildings and hotels

[@StefanMalloch]

Looks at manual Laowa zero D.

[@gamerguy655]

Thanks for the overview.

[@mychanll]

Thanks a lot DUDE! great video!

[@optilineenterprises]

Would have loved to see a slide with all these lenses showcasing their widest focal length. 12 - 14 - 16 while minimal difference its actually huge and has been a big deciding factor on what to compromise on, are you able to provide any type of this comparison?

[@StefanMalloch]

I can try to put something together in the future. 12mm is going to be too wide imo and misrepresent the space most likely.

[@ZachAtaxx]

I have the Zeiss 24 - 70 mm lens, I know the Sony A7 ii can shoot up to 1080 p or the XAVC -S format, but I bought a course on Real Estate Videography and the guy was saying you should have a 11 - 16 mm lens, not anything larger and not anything smaller otherwise it could be too distorted if it's bigger than a 16 mm lens. however I also bought this lens from watching a video talking about how the 24 - 70 mm lens is great for photography AND videography, I'm so confused lol.

[@LAAM619]

1. Dont buy photography/videography courses. 2. 16-35mm, 14mm, 24mm, 24-70mm are all good for RE 3. I used the 16-35 and 24 and a tripod.

[@sweet_it_is]

i visit your website, but i didn't see a single architectural photography? do u have another website for real estate?

[@IamTiberio]

Hey. You're talking about real estate photography and video. let us see some samples of your work. I checked your social media links but I found none... at least not recent. Show me what you do with these lenses. Thanks

[@dstr769]

I really do not understand why you keep saying "you're not going to be shooting wide in real estate" - I love wide shots, I can crop stuff out if necessary and it looks better. Care to explain, please? Currently I use an iPhone 11 Pro Max :) which, if I understand correctly, is equal to 13mm and I think it is almost perfect, I could go wider...

[@digitalclips]

I assume he is referring to aperture, not focal length. Two large of an aperture will give too shallow a depth of focus. He can't mean 'wide' as in focal length since that's the whole point of the video, using wider angle lenses.

[@lesliesharpe4915]

Great tips!!!!

[@StefanMalloch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@awillingvessel238]

why use an f4? in low light situation?

[@StefanMalloch]

In what situation? You're not going to be shooting wide in real estate and hopefully you're using a tripod.

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Nice. I've watched a lot of real estate videos and nobody has mentioned how they deliver their video to the client. How do you deliver it? Thanks : +)

[@StefanMalloch]

Well I'm a realtor as well and only do my own properties so I upload myself. You could use something like dropbox or google drive for bigger files.

[@Diana-py7fw]

Why no mention of the Laowa 9mm, the best rectilinear zero distortion lens for APS-C - Laowa also have a new 9mm zero distortion free lens coming out out for full frame not to mention the already fantastic 12mm for full frame.

[@StefanMalloch]

I dont have any experience with them to be honest and 9mm is way too wide for RE imo.

[@liverpix]

@@StefanMalloch 9 mm on APS-C cameras would be equivalent to about 13.5mm on full frame.

[@Marco-sp2li]

Not sure if I should return my Tamron 10-18 mm for something different. What do your or everyone in this comment section think?

[@EFM_Max_Production]

Laowa 15mm f-2 FE Zero D VE1520SFE (Sony E) - the best!

[@Imlloydserrano]

Hi Stefan what camera would you recommend for real estate photography? Thank you

[@StefanMalloch]

I would recommend a full frame camera as you have some better options with wide angle lenses. You're pretty limited with APS-C wide angle lenses. For Sony anyways. For me its the A7iii and the 16-35mm F4

[@Imlloydserrano]

Thank you so much.

[@CaiZiMeng]

15 & 16 is my sweet spot, while 17 isn't.... as if there is a difference between them...lol

[@anotherhumanbug]

Crop sensor- 15-27mm equivalent not 15-24.

[@KnightMorelos]

Thank you so much! :D

[@c3vette47]

Very informative video. But no, a full frame camera is not necessary. I have been shooting real estate with a t5i rebel and the efs 10-18 lens. Cell phones shoot better than my camera. No matter the camera you use, you have to bracket your shots anyway, unless you don’t mind blown out windows. I’m planning on upgrading my camera system soon. I’m looking at a7iii, x-t4, or even a LUMIX g9. Yes, even a micro 4/3 is a huge upgrade from my old canon rebel. But if I decide on the a7iii, I will look at the lenses you mention.

[@Juniorgproductions]

16-35 f4 for $500 a great deal?

[@christiando2434]

Depends on its condition.
