Wide Angle Lens HELP!

#1 May 28th 04, 09:45 PM

I've Been Looking for a wide angle lens for a 37mm digital handicam,
I'm kind of new to film and photography. Most of the .45x lenses I've
looked at are fisheye lenses, are all .45x lenses fisheye ? or are
they diffrent from just normal .45x wide angle lenses. Also Is the
lower the number (.45x) the wider the picture or do I want one with
the highest number (.6x)?. Also at what point has the least amount
of noticable distortion.

John,
You are in the wrong forum. This forum caters to Medium Format film
camera users.

Cheers,
Jeff.
