The other day I was asked by a Realtor to take some photos of a house for sale. The widest lens I have for my GH3 is the Panasonic 14-140mm zoom. I knew that the 28mm equivalent wouldn't be wide enough for interior shots, so I ended taking my Fuji A-1 with it's 24mm equivalent lens.

But I found that even 24mm wasn't enough. Plus, the Fuji is not as versatile as my GH3.

I would really like to buy the Panasonic 7-14mm lens, but it is too expensive for me right now. The Olympus 9-18mm probably also would work, but at $700 is still quite expensive.

Does anybody know of any cheaper alternatives?

have you considered stitching photos together to get wide angle of view? Microsoft ICE is free software for stitching
