Wide Angle Lenses

Sans all of the technical terms and degrees of photography, a wide angle lens is one that will produce a wider view than standard cameras and human sight. The focal length of a wide angle lens is substantially shorter than standard cameras. Due to this fact, there is a better chance that the photographs taken can have perspective distortion since the camera needs to be held so close to the object. Although there is a chance of a loss of perception, these wide angle lenses can create quite a picture and many photographers choose to use them. One specific type of wide angle lens is called the fisheye lens that allows the photographer to capture pictures of entire rooms, including all four walls, the ceiling and floor. Although there still might be some distortion, the fisheye lens is an extremely wide lens that captures a significant amount of the viewing area and creates wonderful photographs.

Digital Camera Wide Angle Lens

One major advantage of a digital camera wide angle lens is the fact it can become interchangeable. However, since most digital cameras are now considerably smaller than full frame cameras, the sensor is smaller and is likely to capture less of the object. The angle of view for any given object will be narrower because the sensor cannot “see” as much as typical full frame cameras. This is the major disadvantage to digital camera wide angle lenses. Manufacturers have tried to correct the problem by producing mush shorter focal lengths for the cameras. This gives the designers flexibility to allow the pictures to be at a better quality regardless of how short the focal length is.
