What camera lens would you recommend for interior photos?
I just bought a Nikon 5100 and it comes with a stock 18-55 mm lens. I have an interior design friend who uses a 10-22 mm lens to capture more of the room.
Anyone have suggestions before I go buy a Nikon 10-22 mm lens?

Hi Andy, I'm a professional photographer and a Nikon Girl :) Good choice! I use a 17-35mm lens for my interior shots. At 17mm, you have to be careful of the slight skewing at the edges, where the image will start to "curve", like a slight fisheye. I try to stay at the 25mm mark. This makes the rooms look larger but not distorted.
I think the lens you have is fine, you should invest in an on off camera flash as well, lighting is what makes or breaks the image. Look for a used SB80 or SB600.
