Wide-Angle Lenses Anything less than 40mm in focal length (for a 35mm camera) is considered a wide-angle lens. Again, we are speaking of the lens focal length as it applies to 35 mm cameras.

Techniques Glossary Wide-angle lens
A lens with a short focal length used to capture a wider angle of view.
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.
An ultra-wide-angle lens can emphasize or enhance any lines in your shot created by natural or human-made elements.
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 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.

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 lens:
A lens that has an angle of view greater than that of a standard lens and that is considered of short focal length. This kind of lens is usually employed to include more of a subject within the confines of the image frame.
Wide-angle lens. Lens with a focal length much shorter than the diagonal of the format for which it is designed to be used. Gives a wide angle of view and considerable depth of field.

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.

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.
Why Wide-angle Lenses Are Important
Now that we're deep underwater, let's talk about fundamentals rather than gear for a moment. One fundamental fact is that water magnifies. Thus you end up needing a wider angle lens than you thought.
Tools - Wide-Angle Lenses
Because underwater photography has to be accomplished at near distances to achieve optimal resolution and color, photographing models in a marine environment requires a wide-angle lens.
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.
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.

Wide-angle lenses - as the name implies, they are wider and great for landscapes and indoor photography such as taking a photo of a room.
Wide-angle lenses tend to magnify distance between objects while allowing greater depth of field. This makes them great for landscape or reportage photographers wanting to capture as much content and detail as possible from the scene before them.
Wide-angle lens is a lens with wide covering power. It has a focal length which is less than the diagonal of the film format with which it is being used.

Most wide-angle lenses are considered "rectilinear" lenses. The Sigma 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, Olympus 8mm, Tokina 10-17mm, Nikon 10.5mm, Nikon 16mm and the Canon 15mm are all "fisheye" lenses, that are extra-wide lenses with up to a 180 degree of view.
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.
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.

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.
Macro lenses are lens heads for SLR's supplementary bellows, or belong to the macro subclasses of wide-angle lenses, normal lenses, mainly zoom lenses, and even tele lenses (telemacros).
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.
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.
For large subjects such as divers, a wide-angle lens lets you get closer, so reducing the amount of water between camera and subject, yet still allowing all of the subject to fit in the frame.
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.
This means that wide-angle lenses behave like less wide lenses, which could be a problem if you do a lot of wide angle photography.
If you're close to the display, and if you have a choice, go for a "normal" or slightly wide-angle lens.
Wide-angle lenses require rethinking your composition constantly. Eliminating clutter with a normal lens usually entails leaving it out of your frame, thus simplifying your composition. This is rarely possible with wide-angle lenses.
Extreme wide-angle lens with an angle of view exceeding 100 degree and sometimes in excess of 180 degree. depth of field is practically infinite and focusing is not required. Ultra-wide angle lens giving 180 angle of view.
n an ideal world, every serious photographer would carry a close-up lens, a wide-angle lens and a long telephoto all the time, so that just about any situation would be covered.
In your composition, use the wide end of your zoom (or a wide-angle lens) and get closer and make it so. Look for contrasts of all the things above: colour amid dullness, light among darkness, and so on.
If you're looking at a wide-angle lens with a crystal-clear center and blurring around the edges, keep on looking. You may also encounter Spherical Aberration, or wide-angle distortion of your images.
A very specialised, ultra wide-angle lens with an angle of view of 180 degrees in all directions. Unlike a traditional wide angle lens, fisheye lenses are not corrected for distortion (straight lines can appear curved).
I generally pack an ultra wide-angle lens for photographing large storms up close. Nikons 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor helped me take powerful shots in very cramped spaces during Katrina.
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 Lens: A lens which changes the perspective to make the objects appear in a wider field of view.
Zoom: A lens which changes the perspective like a telephoto or wide-angle lens.
