I want to borrow a wide angle

[ldelacruz]

My parents need interior pics of their limousine buses and my widest lens is 50mm. Would anyone be interested in trading with me for a few days? I would like to use a 24-70 or 24-105. I have a 70-200 2.8 or Sigma 50mm 1.4 to swap.

24mm isn't really all that wide, especially on a crop body, for vehicle interiors. Of course if you don't mind stitching, then it might work well enough. OTOH, if it was me, I'd be looking for a much wider lens to use. YMMV

Man, if you were closer I wouldn't mind swapping my 24-105 or sigma 20 for you Sigma 50 for a couple of days. I don't think it's worth the hassle of shipping though, good luck, Lonnie.

I will be using a full frame and they are buses so I do have some room to back up. I mostly shoot at 700mm so 24mm seems super wide to me. I guess a 17-40 could also work?

Yeah local would be better! I would be scared to ship because of all the banging and dropping if boxes. I figure someone could find good use in trying out a 70-200 2.8.

It's not like I'm a world class authority on bus interiors, but they do present a fairly cramped space. The 17-40 would work way better, IMO. When you get that wide, every step, even an extra mm, shows in the image.

Also look at the 11-24 thats a good wide lens

Yeah, 24mm is pretty wide on full-frame, but I can see a significant difference between 20mm and 24mm. 4mm is a huge difference on the wide end.

Nevermind just noticed your going to be using Fullframe... 11-24 in a cropped lens

[photonewb]

sheesh...if you shot a real camera I'd be happy let you use my new 14-24 for a bit...but alas you're one of those canon guys ;)

There's always lighttec rentals in houston.

Or you could buy one with your credit card, use it for the weekend, and then take it back.

I have a Sigma 20mm f/1.8 you can borrow.

[ldelacruz]

Ya'll are the best!

Richard,
You can loan me your whole setup. I won't mind downgrading for a few days!

[Some Idiot]

If you lived closer you could use my 24-105, I know that doesn't help, just say'n LOL
