38mm in 6x6 is about the same as 16mm in 24x24mm, so you can use a 15mm
viewfinder and mask it square.

I doubt that is correct 38mm does not seem that wide, I have a 40mm lens for 6x6
and its not even close to fisheye. Are not 16mm lenses on 35mm considered fisheye?

Lenses are not "considered" fisheye: they're either fisheye or they're not.
It's a very specific projection.


It was a question & I seem to remember Canon offered a 17mm fisheye lens
for the AE-1and not another lens of that FL which was not designated as not
a Fisheye. So there is the basis of my question.

The term "fisheye" refers to the projection type, not the field of view.

A 16mm lens could be either fisheye (preserving relative area in the
projected image) or rectilinear (preserving angles in the projected image).
I own a 15mm fisheye lens for a 35mm system, but I am also aware of 14mm and
12mm rectiliear lenses for these systems.

Fisheye lenses are tyipcally wide angle, simply because a) you can get a
wider field of view with a fisheye lens (it is not physically possible to
project a 180 degrees field of view onto a flat surface in a rectilinear
manner), and b) a telephoto fisheye lens would just look like a rectilinear
lens with a bad case of barrel-distortion.

If you had seen the translation (in particular the bit about only being

mfd
in response to an order) then you'd know not to lookg.


You're right, of course.

Yet i already knew that, and i don't read Japanese, nor had i seen a
translation... ;-)
