Recommend a wide angle lens for room shots

egan007

I regularly take shots of rooms for websites using a Kodak Z650
Can anyone recommend a lens that I can attach for wider shots.
It would be great to get more in in where there is not space to step back very far.

As you can guess I'm a photo novice something cheap and cheerful / even second hand would be fine.

thanks

That camera's lens is fixed so that rules out getting a proper wide angle lens onto it. I guess you'll have to use some kind of cheap convertor thing that screws onto the filter threads (assuming the camera takes filters!). There's tons of these on ebay. Be warned though, they'll probably introduce significant barrel distortion into your pictures.

Sounds like estate agent work?

Does sounds like it but no
Thanks for the pointer, I have seen these and as you say the barrel distortion could be a problem, I'll chance one anyway - thanks

try shooting a bunch of pics and stitch them together, and reduce the file size?
