p.1 #1Low`ish destortion wide angle for tight appartments?
Hey folks!
I have the Viltrox 16mm that I use to take interior photos of fairly small apartments but it's just not quite wide enough. Looking for something in the 10mm - 14mm range. Autofocus would be nice but not a total requirement. Affordable with lowish distortion would be nice. Usually shooting at F8.

Tilt/shift lenses tend to have the least distortion. Stitched shift panos can get you reeeeally wide shots. The Venus Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift might be worth considering.
There are also shift adapters of varying quality that you can use with SLR mount lenses like the old Samyang 14mm. The FotodioX TLT ROKR only has push-pull movements which aren't very precise. But for fully shifted panos it would work fine.
Avoid the TTArtisans 14/2.8- once you crop out the crap corners, you'll be back to 16mm. The 7Arstisans is as solid as the Pergear but is $61 more and the 77mm filter thread isn't all that useful since I couldn't find a frame thin enough npt to create mechanical vignetting. Pergear has the right idea with their 82mm adapter.
Also excellent and light is the Laowa 14/4 for EF and F mounts, so it requires an adapter. Great flare resistance and utlra-low distortion and the 67mm filter thread is good with a single normal filter frame. Not really worth the new price, but goes cheap used when you can find them.
Second option is 12-24 lens, native F4 G have some issue with flare too, 12-24 F2.8 is big and expensive but stellar.
Other options is Laowa's 10 F2.8 or even 9mm (check Philip Reeve excellent website).
BTW, if lens have correction profile distortion (and not crazy moustache like infamous Samyang 14mm) is not the main issue in UWA interiors - glare and flare are as well as non-precise leveling (Sony's cameras levels is not very accurate with error margin around 0,5-1 degree).
