In a circular fisheye lens, the image circle is inscribed in the film or sensor area; in a diagonal ("full-frame") fisheye lens, the image circle is circumscribed around the film or sensor area. This implies that using a fisheye lens for a different format than it was intended for is easy (as opposed to a rectilinear lens), and may change its ...
In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...
Cross-section of Maxwell's fish-eye lens, with blue shading representing increasing refractive index. Maxwell's fish-eye lens is also an example of the generalized Luneburg lens. The fish-eye, which was first fully described by Maxwell in 1854 [5] (and therefore pre-dates Luneburg's solution), has a refractive index varying according to
The mood effect of perspective distortion achieved by rectilinear extreme wide-angle lenses is that the resulting image looks grotesque and unsettling, while not looking as unrealistic as curvilinear fisheye lenses which display barrel distortion. The effect is especially noticeable the closer the camera is to the subject, as its amount ...
(In the case of a lens with distortion, e.g., a fisheye lens, a longer lens with distortion can have a wider angle of view than a shorter lens with low distortion) [3] Angle of view may be measured horizontally (from the left to right edge of the frame), vertically (from the top to bottom of the frame), or diagonally (from one corner of the ...
Using a 15mm fisheye lens and an off-camera flash, I worked carefully to avoid disturbing the snake. ... I held the camera with live view mode to enhance the visual extension effect and capture ...
Unlike most fisheye lenses, this lens is designed for digital SLR cameras that do not have a full 36x24mm sensor. [1] This results in a much greater fisheye effect than is possible when a full-frame fisheye lens is used with a smaller sensor. The projection type of this lens is equidistant [2] This lens is available in Canon, Nikon, and Sigma ...
These types of lenses are often used to create forced perspective effects. The most famous example is the Rapid Rectilinear Lens developed by John Henry Dallmeyer in 1866. It allowed distortionless photos to be taken quickly for the first time, and was a standard lens design for 60 years.
