I use the DA14 for this kind of thing. It supplies a 90 degree field
of view across the diagonal (traditionally the choice of
architectural interior photographers was a Hasselblad SWC with this
field of view) and has well corrected rectilinear rendering. The
DA16-45 would also work well, with a somewhat narrower field of view,
but it isn't quite as good on rectilinear rendering which means more
time spent on correction.
I hate spending time stitching panoramas. Once in a while, fine, but
it's not something you want to get into for production work on a
daily basis.

Howdy gang!
I may have a line on a job taking photographs for a company that does
interior and exterior work for real estate companies. While I don't
know the details of said work just yet, I do know that they provide
those interior panoramas that are quite popular with online real
estate listings. If the job pans out I'm considering purchasing an
*istD or DS. Was wondering if any of you might have an opinion on
which lenses might be most useful in that situation? My first
thoughts were to get the widest lens I could find, but after looking
at some of the wonderful landscape panoramas stitched together by Mark
I'm not sure that a super wide angle lens would be absolutely
necessary.
Any thoughts?
