Canon Sale on Refurbished: Quality real estate photo kit on a budget18448

Expertise private msg quote post Address this user
Canon US is having a really nice sale on Refurbished stuff right now.

This is the setup we use, and we are very happy with the results.

We use a Canon RP body, their entry level full frame mirrorless.
We add an R/EF adaptor.
We use an EF-S 10-22mm crop frame lens.
Ease of use, nice images. A nice kit.
In addition, using a crop frame lens on the full frame gets you very manageable file sizes which process, upload and download much quicker.

Current retail is $1700 plus tax. But we always buy refurbished (from Canon direct).
Both the body and lens prices are slashed right now.

I just picked up a body, lens and adaptor for $1097 plus tax.

Hope this helps someone.

Nice!

We have an A7iii.
We use the Sony 10-18 crop frame lens. Gives you a great 3600 x 2400 RAW file.

But- We like to shoot brackets of 7, and the Sonys won't do it easily.

I have found that TTartisan 7.5mm F2.0 APS-C Frame Fisheye Lens works great with a full frame sony(mine is A7rIV)

As you can see it is aps-c lens but it is similar to projection what you can expect from famous Canon 8-15mm. It is just with Canon lens you get a full circle projected on a full frame while a lot of sensor frame is wasted. However with TTartisan 7.5mm F2.0 in full frame mode you get shortest size of the frame covered in full and the longest has a circle close to the frame ages.
As a result you can get almost 17K 360 photo with just 5 shots(in one row only) using Sony A7rIV. I tilt the lens up about 7-10 degrees and it leaves only a small hole at nadir that is smaller than tripod legs captured there.

The only problem with this lens is a bit of blue glare in photos around its outer circle edge but you can see it only at zenith and nadir. And moreover in PtGui you can adjust in settings a circle that is used for stitching and it will still be stitched. There is a profile in PtGui for this lens.

When I bought a7rIV I was planning to use my Canon 8-15mm with an adapted but it turned out to be very have and long setup. Bought Laowa 10-18mm full frame but realised I'd need a lot of shots to make it work in any space. However after watching some channel recommending TTartisan 7.5mm F2.0 lens for 360 even for a full fame tried it. I love it and I can even use it in small rooms with very low 2-2.4m ceiling.

I would use APS-C cameras for 360 as they are small and lightweight. However it would be hard to make a hires 360 with them as most sony aps-c cameras come with a 24mp sensor
