I need a wide angle lens for real estate photos Deciding between 11-24mm or 16-35mm

"A point to illustrate the difference: I can't imagine using a fisheye lens for real estate photography. But I've seen one used very successfully for architectural photography.
I probably wouldn't use a fisheye for either purpose, but that's just me."
That particular fisheye is a zoom lens. It behaves a little differently on crop body, compared to a full frame. On a crop body, it is more of an ultra-wide zoom than a fisheye.

"That particular fisheye is a zoom lens."
It seems like you and I have little to agree on so I generally don't (trying not to anyway) respond to you but this time we do.
The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens is a special lens and it is more fun than most can realize. Just as a big tele is great to use so is an extreme UWA lens. One thing, however, it is only a full circle 180 degree on a FF. Keep in mind anything that runs directly through the center of the lens, horizontal or vertical is straight.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to own or use a couple hundred different lenses. Still own some forty+. All brands included. Some borrowed from work. Some I bought. Some I bought first and either kept or sold them on. All Canon lenses are good, likewise so are brand-N's. Some are better than others. Some are great and they are keepers. The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens falls into that category. It has become a mainstay in my bag.
In this case, though, the Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX Lens for Canon is the lens the OP wants. The only quirky thing about it is the AF/MF switch but I rarely take a lens off AF so I don't care. It isn't in my main bag as I love the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. But for half the cost of the Canon the Tokina would do nicely.

B from B,
Remember he said, "Deciding between 11-24mm or 16-35mm"
This makes the Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX Lens for Canon the winner.

Nice shot. I'd be curious to know the focal length.
