AnandTech Forums: Technology, Hardware, Software, and Deals

I was contacted by a company asking me to photograph their buildings in Manhattan. It's a whole bunch of really tall buildings. I'm not a photography noob, but I have never done this kind of work. What lenses/equipment do you guys recommend? I realize it's a tricky job to shoot a tall building from across the street. So I would imagine the wider the better, but I want to hear from people who may have done it themselves. Thanks!
