Architectural designs are often shot with a special perspective control lens that allows one to compensate for the converging lines that are often present in architectural photography. Is that what you want? They're made by Nikon and others. -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Elson T. Elizaga Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 11:08 PM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: Wide-angle lens I've been using a Sigma 18-35mm for my Nikon bodies for sometime now, and the result is unpredictable. Sometimes the photos are acceptably sharp, sometimes "soft". I heard the cheap, plastic Nikon 18-55mm AF is good, but what's your opinion? Would you recommend something else? What about the Nikon 18-70mm AF from the D70 kit? And the primes? I'm looking because I'll be shooting a great deal of architectural designs soon.
