Impressive video, James Kerwin. Looking forward to seeing your next upload from you. I pressed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on lens distortion and the comparison between the 10-20mm and 15-35mm are incredibly helpful. How do you think advancements in lens technology will further influence architectural photography in the coming years?
Interesting! I'd never consider anything other than a shift lens for this kind of stuff. My 15mm laowa usually saves the day in tight spaces, even if I have to combine 3 pictures. It's a slower process of course.
Totally agree - for sure it isn't a shift lens alternative. I would say great as an option in the bag that isn't heavy for "creative architectural images".
Good to finally see this in use ... I am very interested to understand what this means to me in terms of lens choice for my bag... Currently 15-35, 24-105 and 17mmTS... so for the sort of locations I go to, and you know what they means, could I swap the 15-35 with 10-20 so for wider stuff use the 24-105 .. That would make quite a physical difference to my bag and the weight I carry... As far as image quality is concerned, I see this as similar to the 15-35 with less weight
Hi, you are presenting a very interesting lens for real estate and architecture photography! For these purposes i am currently using the older EF 11-24 and i would be curious to know if your RF 10-20 can replace your TSE 17 mm?
@ColinRobertson_LLAP depends what you are shooting. I found it so light for travelling I can see the benefits. Also it doesn't have to be used always at 10mm.
Have the 14-35 f4 RF lens which is serving me well but I am tempted by the 10-20mm as the reviews have been positive. Also have the 24-105 so I think I could live without the 3mm gap but I like the option of using filters on the front of the 14-35. I do have a bespoke filter set up for my 17mm TS-E but not sure if it would fit the 10-20mm so hence my quandary. Do you see yourself getting the 10-20mm James?
I rented this lens for a few weeks back in January (yes, renting for that long was very expensive!) and unfortunately I found I never felt I needed the extra width beyond my 15-35... (I think I have one shot I took in that extra wide range). For me, 20-35mm is a far more useful range than 10-15mm. It just becomes too difficult to avoid distortion that wide.
I’d say the 15-35mm range is way more useful for a lot of architectural photography. But if you travel a lot. The lens can be used at the 15 - 20mm range perfectly, as I say to workshop participants - just because you have a wide angle doesn't mean you should use it wide all the time. Cheers
The 10-20 has a holder on back for gel filters, though I'm not sure what good that would be besides ND. I was interested in the people all over your shoot, why is this place considered photographic? It's good for a test session because why not, but the site itself is a wreck, has ugly modern junk in the scene, and even when it was spanking new it's still a very low quality poorly built space, cheap finishes and materials, cheap detail work faking the real deal, no architectural significance that I can see. What is it? Greece? Romania?
The people in my shoot were discussed at the start. I was running a workshop in the Republic of Georgia. If you have any background on the channel- you will see the hidden gems I seek out, relics, ruins, abandoned architecture and more. I think it speaks for itself - feel free to check my website.

Thanks! It's a rapidly evolving area of photography mostly because of editing and software technology.
Been waiting to see how you got along with this lens 👍
So lightweight - I think I mentioned it! 😅
Interesting video James ^^
Glad you think so! Cheers 🍻

I would rather use my 15-35mm than this and I would probably sell that lens before giving up my 17mm TSE.
Hey - I would find it hard to hand over my 17mm tse. Or my 24mm tse for that matter. I see it s more of a 15-35mm replacement.
