<p>Thank you James and Ruben. I'll read up on diffraction and stay around f8 for my wide shots.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your responses. That was my thinking. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. 7D's are so inexpensive now, that it had me questioning if it could possibly perform (almost) as well as a 5DmkIII for my situation. I could probably have sold the 7D setup for (max) $1,000 for the body, 10-22 Lens, grip and some other accessories. A used 5DmkIII would probably run me $1600. So a net $600-700 upgrade would be fine with me if there were a legitimate reason for it. Thanks to your guys' input, it seems that my situation doesn't warrant the effort, cash and trouble of doing this.<br> <br /> The APS-C crop sensor on my 7D is the equivalent to 1.6x so at 10mm it's the FF equivalent of 16mm. The 17-40mm L is pretty much the same at it's widest (1mm less wide). I guess one of the variables I was thinking about was how much better a piece of L glass would perform over the EFS 10-22. Again, it appears that any difference probably wouldn't be enough of a factor to be worth the trouble.<br> Here's a photo I just finished editing from a property I just listed. One thing I just realized is that I should have closed the aperture to f11-f15 range to get better detail in the distance. I think I shot this as f7. The biggest thing I need to accomplish is capturing great outside views from interior shots. Blown out windows are the culprit. I'm going to explore digital layering as an alternative to HDR to achieve some more realistic and less noisy photos. Still and all, came out way better than shots I've taken in the past.<br> Thanks again for the feedback!</p> <p>Lee</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone. I would love your opinion on whether or not I should upgrade my 7D to a full frame camera. No doubt this topic has been covered at length, but I have a specific situation.<br> I'm a real estate agent. I like to shoot my listings in HDR. I have a 7D with an EFS 10-22mm lens. I also have an amazing solid Mafrotto tripod. I've also installed magic lantern on it, so I have a 2 second delay and 5 photo bracket instead of 3, which has made all the difference. I pretty much only use the camera at this capacity. My skill level in shooting and post in Photomatix, LR and PS are greatly improving.<br> <br />I happen to also own a 17-40L lens which is great for FF sensors but not wide enough for a crop for real estate in my opinion. I know the latest FF cameras have better resolution and dynamic range. I typically shoot in ISO 100 so new cameras that perform better in low light high ISO conditions is not an issue. Also, with 5 RAW files taken at different exposures, is drynamic range really even an issue for me? Real estate is typically stagnant so faster shutter speeds are not an issue, especially on my tripod. I can afford a new camera, and have a great piece of UWA L glass, but is it worth me selling the 7D, grip, and 10-22mm EFS for a 6d, or 5D mk III. <br> I don't shoot for paid gigs. My clients love that I have an appreciation for photography. I usually hire a photographer anyway, but I can come back and shoot twilight shots, better sunsets, timelapses and reshoots, not to mention spend way more time perfecting an image in post than a $150 photographer would. My listings are typically a mix of photographer shots and my own. <br> Thanks a lot in advance, as I have been scratching my head for the last few weeks about this one!</p>
