Which lens to shoot houses?

[Sir Harvo]

I have been asked by a local estate agent if I will produce all the photographs for their new instructions, they have finally decided they need good quality pics to sell homes.

I will invest in a wide angle lens but don't know what to choose. I want something wide enough for the internal room shots but not a fisheye.

My current kit is Sony a700, 50mm f1.4, sigma 17-70 f2.8 and a Sony kit 70-200.

What would you suggest?

My wife works for an estate agent, and after chatting with them they decided to go down the "professional" route for photo's of their more expensive houses.

I did a few for them using my 40D and a 10-20mm, and my 24-70. However, the biggest issue I found was exposure. Trying to get a decent image inside a house without flash drop off around the sides was not easy. I ended up using either 2 flash guns, or using the ambient light and a longer exposure.

Some houses are not great when it comes to the amount of light there is in some of the rooms...
