Real Estate is one of 3 things I perform professionally. Ironically, I don't even use a tripod. Never needed them as the image stabilization in either the body or lens I've used was more than sufficient to keep things steady. There are some more rare times I've needed to resort to a flash but it's actually surprisingly rare. I do daytime shoots almost exclusively anyway.

The average f stop, I'm using for ideal depth of field is at least f5.6 or even f8 at times. I do however use a lens that after trying out the Canon as well as a couple others, settled on the Sigma 14-24 f2.8 Art lens. Not only was it sharp edge to edge (the Canon wasn't) but had virtually NO correction needed due to the distortion so prevalent in wide angle lenses. I've had no compelling need for a tilt shift lens so far. There was also NO need to correct for CA or any other bad habits. The color rendition is superb on my R5 as well. I don't care it's used with an adapter. The focus is like native in speed and accuracy thanks to Sigma updating it's firmware. Not to mention a price less then half the Canon with wider performance and better all around. I never thought I'd go for 3rd party but in this case it simply was unavoidable. Better is better. Nuff said.

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
