A lens with a short focal length used to capture a wider angle of view.
The wide-angle lens's unique visual perspective gives you the ability to combine nearby details with far-off views in a single picture. This is what makes the wide-angle lens such an amazing tool for outdoor scenic photography.
Wide-angle lenses are much more difficult to work with than longer focal lengths, even super telephotos. With telephoto lenses, you have less worry about composition since only a portion of the scene is viewed through the viewfinder.
A wide-angle lens allows you to force perspective and enhance resolution.
A wide-angle lens allows you to force perspective and enhance resolution. It was easy in the old days when we had fewer choices.

An ultra-wide-angle lens can emphasize or enhance any lines in your shot created by natural or human-made elements.

Wide-angle camera lenses are ideal for shooting interiors, landscapes and large gatherings. The important thing to look at when shopping for wide-angle camera lenses is the uniform quality of the shot.
Wide-angle lenses
By wide-angle lenses we mean anything with a shorter focal length than 50 mm.
They range from ultra wide-angles of about 17mm to a more conventional 35mm. The latter is probably the most common focal length found on digicams.
Wide-Angle Lens
A Wide-angle Lens has a shorter focal length, compared to a standard lens. This enables you to capture a comparatively wider angle of view.
Wide-angle lenses are superb at reaching out their wide-open arms to take in a sweeping view of the world. Those in the 28mm-to-35mm range are the most useful and popular.
Wide-Angle Lens
Although some will take landscape shots with telephoto lenses, most photographers opt for the wide-angle lens.
Wide-Angle Lens A lens that has a shorter focal length and a wider field of view (includes more subject area) than a normal lens.
Wide-Angle - The distance from the lens to the film on a camera of this type is shorter than normal. As the lens is more wide, the field of view is increased.
WIDE-ANGLE SHOTS
The majority of my shots in Cayman Brac have been taken with a Nikonos camera with a 15 mm wide-angle lens. The system is ideal for large shoals of fish, providing you can get close enough.
Wide-angle zoom lenses
A wide-angle zoom lens is a hybrid solution that combines a wide-angle and telephoto lens. The common focal length ranges are 18-200, 18-300, and so on.

WIDE-ANGLE LENS - A lens with an angle of view that is wider than that of a normal lens, or that of the human eye. A wide-angle lens has a focal length which is less than the diagonal of the film format.
Wide-angle Edit
A wide-angle lens is a lens with a focal length shorter than normal. A wide-angle lens, as opposed to a fisheye, is normally well-corrected for geometrical distortion, i.e., straight lines appear straight.

Wide-angle lenses are more prone to lens flare so the placement of lights is more critical, especially when aimed toward the camera.
All lenses have a minimum focus distance that determines how close you can get to the subject.

Most landscapes mainly stretch into a certain width. This is most obvious at sea or in the Dutch polders, but mountain scenery and vistas are wide as well.
A wide-angle lens helps to catch that width.

Wide-angle lenses do a number of things very well - one of them is the ability to keep near and far objects in focus, and present the landscape in a striking light.
Wide-angle lens
Any lens with a focal length below 45 to 50mm (normal) lens in the 35mm film system (also see 35mm equivalent). A lens below 16mm is generally referred to as a "fish-eye" lens, and causes extreme distortion.

Wide-angle lenses can distort perspective more than any other type of lens. Though it's not necessarily appealing to everyone, it can lead to exciting images and a great deal of creativity.

Very wide-angle lenses are also problematic if you're taking photos of people, other than big crowds. In order to "fill the frame" with a person, you'll have to get VERY close, which is a perspective that we're not used to seeing.
A wide-angle lens can be ideal for capturing a close foreground subject to help define the sense of space from near to far.
With a wide-angle lens, we can get Joe and the Statue in the same frame, like this.
What's the problem here? Now the Statue's big, but Joe's so tiny we can barely see him.
Using a wide-angle lens in bright sunlight (aperture is small), the area in focus may extend from just a few inches in front of the lens to the horizon.
Just as wide-angle photography takes effort to master and challenges the photographer, a fisheye requires work and much more practice to understand it.

What are wide-angle, normal and telephoto lenses?
We've all had the experience before. You're trying to take a photograph of some friends, but you just can't fit everybody into the picture.
Use a wide-angle lens
Unless you need to get a tight shot of a particular feature on the building or structure, most architectural photo pros shoot with very wide angle lenses. If using a DSLR, you want to use either a 10-20mm or 18-28mm lens.
Nikon's press release declares it the world's first ultra wide-angle zoom lens with a fixed f/2.8 aperture and boasts that it rivals prime lens performance.
The JX200 features a high-quality Fujinon 5x optical zoom with 28mm wide-angle lens, plus there's Digital Image Stabilization to ensure image blurring is kept to a minimum. The concept of a point-&-shoot camera is to be simple.
Lens lengths vary between wide-angle (used for landscapes and shots in which you want to include as much as possible) and telephoto (used for close-ups and to zoom in on faraway objects).
Here comes the time when I am going to talk about wide-angle lens. This lens is my favorite. I cannot say exactly why, but I can give you a few points that I like most in the lens.
From the perimeter of the oil immersion-type objective lens, a very wide-angle incidence of light is emitted into the oil, then incidence occurs on the cover glass. On the upper surface of the glass is a specimen in a thin layer of water.
A wide-angle lens (short-focal-length) includes more of the scene-a wider angle of view-than a normal (normal-focal-length) or telephoto (long-focal-length) lens. Currently, the widest view available is 220 degree (achieved by Nikon's Nikkor 6mm F2.
The best wide-angle lenses use a large diameter aspherical element in the front group (probably for a better correction of light rays with steep entry angle ?), rear aspherical elements (=smaller and therefore cheaper) are less effective.
Wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses can be used well in nature scenes, conjuring up visions of the Grand Canyon or safaris along the Serengeti.
Wide-angle lenses give a spatial effect to the picture, as they stress the foreground in proportion to the background.
