Mamiya RB67 65mm lens, wide enough for indoor architectural photography?

<p>I'm supposed to shoot the interiors of some houses for an interior designer friend. I haven't used my 65mm lens yet and I was wondering if it would wide enough for some close-quarters, indoor shooting. Or do I need to pickup the 50mm?</p>

<p>Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>I loved the 65mm for landscape but is probably a bit too long for tight interiors. Even the 50mm may be a bit long but it will do a very good job in many cases. (when I shot architecture professionally, I often used a 75mm on a 4x5 and even that could be a bit long in really tight spaces--equiv to 35-40mm on RB)</p>

<p>A Plaubel 69W Proshift with a Schneider Super-Angulon 5.6/47mm would deliver an even wider angle with the 6x9 format. The horizontal angle is 83,57° horizontal, not diagonal. I guess the above table shows diagonal angles.</p>

Worry is like a rocking chair.

It will give you something to do,

but it won't get you anywhere.
