Wide Angle Lenses

A wide angle lens is a lens with a shorter focal length and a wider field of view than standard lenses. They allow photographers to capture more of the scene in a single shot, making them ideal for landscape and architectural photography.

Wide angle lenses can cause some distortion, particularly at the edges of the frame. This is known as barrel distortion. However, our range of RF wide angle lenses use electronic distortion correction to minimise this effect, providing clearer and more accurate images. This is especially useful in landscape and architectural photography.

To effectively use a wide angle lens, focus on capturing expansive scenes or emphasising foreground subjects for dramatic effect. These lenses are ideal for landscapes, interior spaces, and situations where you want to convey a sense of depth and scale.

A wide angle lens captures a broader field of view compared to standard lenses, allowing more of the scene to be included in the photograph. This makes them ideal for landscapes, architectural photography, filming video and any situation where space is limited.

While not mandatory, a wide angle lens is highly beneficial for landscape photography. It allows you to capture vast, expansive scenes and accentuate the depth and scale of natural landscapes.

Yes, a wide angle lens is a great choice for vlogging. With a naturally wide field of view, a wide angle lens allows you to capture more in frame – meaning you don’t need to extend your arm as much to get the surroundings in shot. This creates a more immersive look and feel for viewers.
