Neither denotes a particular range of focal lengths, the difference is only whether distortion is present or not. However, the shorter the focal length, the more difficult it is to implement rectilinear correction. </p><p>In fisheye lenses, the visual angle is close to or more than 180 degrees in at least one direction. For example, a "diagonal fish eye" would have a viewing angle of at least 180 degrees within the diagonals of the frame. A "circular fisheye" would represent the image in the form of a circle. </p><p>Rectilinear ultra-wide angle lenses are used in photography and cinematography sometimes to achieve three-dimensional perspective distortion instead of simply two-dimensional barrel distortion. A notable, signature employment for this purpose is frequently seen in the films of <a href="/wiki/Terry_Gilliam" title="Terry Gilliam">Terry Gilliam</a>, for instance. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Larger_depth_of_field_(DOF)"><span id="Larger_depth_of_field_.28DOF.29"></span>Larger depth of field (DOF)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ultra_wide_angle_lens&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Larger depth of field (DOF)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The DOF afforded by an ultra wide-angle lens is very great. Therefore, the photographer has the ability to keep much or almost all of the scene in focus, with respect to the hyperfocal distance of the lens. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Better_aperture_setting">Better aperture setting</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ultra_wide_angle_lens&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Better aperture setting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Thanks to the small focal length, these lenses can shoot longer exposures without fear of camera shake in the image. (In longer lenses camera shake is multiplied by the zoom factor, but in shorter lenses it is much less apparent). This means that the photographer can afford to use a much smaller aperture if they choose, and still retain a balanced image. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Undesirable_objects">Undesirable objects</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ultra_wide_angle_lens&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Undesirable objects"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With such a large visual angle, it can be very difficult at times to keep undesired objects such as light sources out of the image. However this does not always pose a problem, as even the sun in a photograph takes up such a small amount of space that its presence can often have little negative impact on the overall composition. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Use_of_filters">Use of filters</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ultra_wide_angle_lens&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Use of filters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When using an ultra wide-angle lens, the sky often constitutes a very large portion of the frame, and may need to be darkened for the image to appear balanced. This is often achieved through the use of a gradient filter. Note that a polarizing filter, which also darkens the sky, will often give uneven results when used on an ultra-wide angle lens. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ultra_wide_angle_lens&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The oldest "lenses", pinholes, used in <a href="/wiki/Pinhole_camera" title="Pinhole camera">pinhole cameras</a>, keep perspective accurately. In images made using this technique, there is little or no distortion due to the rectilinear propagation of light. For a long time it was thought that only symmetrical optical diagrams could ensure the geometrically precise transfer of light without distortion becoming apparent near the edge of images (as the viewing angle increases). However, with modern technology and understanding of optics, ultra wide-angle lenses can these days eliminate distortion almost completely. </p><p>Smartphones began incorporating ultra wide angle lens on rear cameras in the mid 2010s.
