Is wide angle lens same as fisheye?
Fisheye lenses also fall under the wide angle lens category, but the difference lies in the barrel distortion. A fisheye is an ultra-wide angle lens with an angle of view of around 100 to 180 degrees that produces a circular rather than a rectilinear image due to the visual distortion created by the lens.
What is the widest lens without fisheye?

What is the best size for a wide-angle lens?
What kind of camera can you use with a fisheye lens?
Fisheye zoom lenses are also available for APS-C format cameras from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Tokina, and Meike, as well as Micro Four-Thirds cameras. Tip: When shooting with fisheye lenses, the depth-of-field becomes near infinite when shooting at smaller f/stops.
What’s the difference between fisheye and wide angle photography?
Something to keep in mind when framing both fisheye and wide-angle photographs is that the closer you are to your subject, the greater the degree of distortion. For this reason, you should carefully frame your photograph in a way that prevents your main subject from overwhelming the totality of the photograph.
Are there straight lines in a fisheye lens?
In the case of circular fisheye lenses, straight lines are nonexistent—everything swirls around the center point of the rounded image field. Most people associate fisheye lenses with circular photographs, but this isn’t always the case. Fisheye lenses come in two types—circular and full-frame rectangular.
What happens when you shoot with a fisheye lens?
As an example, when shooting with a fisheye lens with the camera mounted level on a tripod or similar support, the horizon line is the only dimension in the image field that remains arrow-straight—everything else arcs around the straight horizon line. If you tilt the camera upward, the horizon line becomes concave.
