No it's a telephoto.... Yes it's a wide-angle.

a wide angle & fisheye are not the same thing, so before u get all shirty & sarcastic with ur comments get yo shit right! It is a fisheye pic piojoer.

Fish is just a wider wide-angle.

um, no... it's not.

When a lens is set to have an extremely wide field of view, distortion becomes apparent, hence the "fish eye" effect.

Dude... I'm a professional photographer, I think I know what I'm saying... that is not how it works. hahaha
You get wide angles that are 10mm (aka really wide, but not fisheye) & you get some 15mm (not as wide) fisheye's. How do explain that then?

Different magnifications due to size of the image sensor. Pssh.

hahaha, ur a funny guy.
The sensor has nothing to do with a lens being fisheye or not... try again... there is one main difference & you can see it in the shot quite easily.

Distortion? What do you think that's caused by? The smaller chips don't see as much as the projected image from the lens so it appears like a narrower field of view with less distortion. And stop playing with the props.

Wrong again...
Ok, I'll put you out of your misery.
A fisheye lens has barrel distortion which curves things, like looking at a reflection on a ball... a wide angle lens tries to correct that curvature & pulls the corners out to straighten the lines which causes another type of distortion completely.
I teach photography, you can take my word for it.
Next time someone asks a question, maybe keep quiet if you don't know the answer & just want them to look stupid. It's no good for anyone.

So you are saying that a "fish" lens does not project a wide angle field of view? I said it was a wide-angle. That's true. Fishes are wides, but wides aren't fishes.

fr112358! WTH! eric palmers photography is the shit and i believe him. and hes right!

*and a lone tear rolled down his cheek*

haha eric i had a little chuckle at this. you must love reading peoples responces?

Responces. wow

yeah, everyone thinks they're an expert & just prove their ignorance most of the time... just interesting to see how far some will go.

You seem to have decided to ignore my perfectly true statement that fish eye lenses provide a wide angle field of view.

I have not ignored that. Piojoer asked what made a lens fisheye & you didn't know... it's not just coz it's wide & you went on about crop factor on sensors & all sorts of completely irrelevant stuff to try & explain it instead of just ask or use google or something. You, knowing this little tried to make someone look stupid for asking a question you didn't know the answer to...

Umm, actually I was just saying that the picture was, ah forget it. I have work to do.

we all know what you were saying... you said it. We've all moved on now

What a satiating conclusion to an arduous battle.

why was it a battle? I asked a question you couldn't answer... that's it. I wasn't fighting you.
