Wide Angle Lens A wide-angle lens is a type of camera lens characterized by its short focal length and wide field of view, allowing it to capture a broader perspective of a scene compared to standard or telephoto lenses. Wide-angle lenses typically have focal lengths ranging from 14mm to 35mm for full-frame cameras, although wider options are available for crop sensor cameras.
They are commonly used in landscape photography, architecture photography, interior photography, and street photography to emphasize expansive landscapes, dramatic perspectives, and architectural details. Wide-angle lenses produce images with enhanced depth of field, exaggerated perspective, and greater spatial context, making them versatile tools for creative composition and storytelling. |
