UWA - Ultra Wide Angle lenses -
Full Frame - Shorter than 24 mm in focal length
Cropped Frame - Shorter than 16mm in focal length
Micro Four Thirds - Shorter than 12mm in focal length
Definition of UWA - *Postal
Micro Four Thirds, (1) (2)
After taking some shots with a recently bought UWA lens, I realised that this is the most unusual lens from any other lens I have tried so far. Mastering or at least getting the hang of it properly because of the high lens distortion will require different technique. Namely perspective distortion. My "normal" technique can't really quite apply here.
Hence, my search for articles and guides in any media that will explain and show how to master the UWA lens. Most search results are mainly which is the better lens and general discussion on such lens.
Please do contribute your experience and share any technical knowledge or techniques when using any of the uwa lens.
You may also let me know the url to more sites of similar nature. Thank you.
