Here's an example of two real estate photos. (Click on each photo to see the entire image.) The first photo was taken with a Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 lens at 14mm on a Nikon D750 full frame camera in HDR and processed with Adobe Lightroom and custom white balanced. The second photo was taken with a Canon EFS 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM lens at 18mm on a Canon 70D APS-C sensor camera in "Auto Mode" with auto white balance. The equivalent focal length of the Canon lens if it were a full frame lens would be 28.8mm compared to the 14mm of the Nikon full frame lens.
If you look at the wall, the first photo's wall is not curved, whereas the second photo is definitely distorted. Also, the first image has more tonal range than the second. The additional width of the first image makes it easier to see the relationship of the kitchen to the adjoining living room and to the patio door compared to the second photo.
It is obvious that the ultra-wide angle lens image processed in HDR is far better than the standard wide angle lens taken in Auto Mode on the second shot.
Checking the pricing of a popular real estate photography service in the Chicago area, their prices for HDR photos are: $259 for 10 photos, $319 for 15 photos and $439 for 25 photos. Agents can do this themselves easily if they only learned how!
