Re: Filmers Discussion Thread

Fisheye is just a nickname for wide angle lenses that are on the wider
side of the spectrum.

Okay Ive got a question:

Whats the difference between a wide angle lens and a fisheye? Like do
they do the same thing except a fisheye has that kinda funny effect?

Because I found a lens that would fit my camera, and its a .5x wide
angle lens...So would it do the same as a fisheye?

Thanks,

Isaac

i wide angle and fish eye are very similar, but a fish eye distorts the
image, with a "bulge", where as a wide angle give a bigger viewing
range. this is wat i have seen by watch fishy vids compared to my wide
angle. i have a .5 wide angle and it is really nice, i highly recomend
it!

A wide angle allows you to get a much bigger view, without distorting
too much

95% of TWNR and Inner Balance were filmed with a wide angle lens on.

Picture a fish eye as looking out a door peep hole
