[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 563996, member: 9240"] With rectilinear ultra-wides what you get depends a lot on how you use it. I have no experience with the Tamron, but I have the Sigma 8-16mm (which would be a 12-24mm in FX equivalency) and while you do not get true distortion, you do get views that are a distortion of reality. There's little that can be done to normalize the look of something that wide, the rectilinear design simply keeps your lines from bending which is what you'd want for real estate photography. How you position the lens in the room will play a huge role in how much you can remove the warped perception recorded in the camera. It takes some getting used to, but it should work for real estate purposes. That said, if you were to share an example of the "distortion" you're seeing it would help me understand whether you're seeing something in the lens or in the use of the lens. [/QUOTE]
