Wide Lens

On a full-frame camera any lens with a focal length of 35mm or wider is considered a wide lens. On a crop sensor camera, wide angle lenses start at around 24mm. Lenses with 24mm or wider are called ultra-wide and lenses between 8mm and 15mm that create extreme hemispherical distortion are called “fisheye”. example of an image captured with wide lens Wide lenses have a very wide field of view so they are usually used to capture landscape, cityscape and architecture.
