While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama.
ActionShot is a method that combines elements of both panoramic and video photography to create panoramic photos of dynamic scenes that take place over a wide-angle area. This involves capturing a moving object (e.g. a person running, riding a bicycle or skiing) and depicting multiple instances of this object over a single panoramic background.
The Widelux is a fully mechanical swing-lens panoramic camera first developed in Japan in 1958, [2] by Panon Camera Shoko. There are both 35mm and medium-format models. Instead of a shutter, the camera has a slit that exposes the film as the lens pivots on a horizontal arc.
Extension or wide-angle distortion can be seen in images shot from close using a wide-angle lens (with an angle of view wider than a normal lens). Objects close to the lens appear abnormally large relative to more distant objects, and distant objects appear abnormally small and hence farther away – distances are extended.

Also by custom, a lens of focal length 35 mm or less is considered wide-angle. Ultra wide angle lenses have a focal length shorter than the short side of the film or sensor [citation needed]. In 35 mm, an ultra wide-angle lens has a focal length shorter than 24 mm. Common wide-angle lenses for a full-frame 35 mm camera are 35, 28, 24, 21, 20 ...
In the same year, James Lind and Captain Alexander Blair described a gun which included a telescopic sight. [5] The first rifle sight was created in 1835 -1840. In the book The Improved American Rifle, written in 1844, British-American civil engineer John R. Chapman described a sight made by gunsmith Morgan James of Utica, New York. Chapman ...
