A "wide-angle" lens is a type of camera lens that allows for a broader field of view compared to standard lenses. This means it can capture more of a scene in a single photograph, making it ideal for landscapes, architecture, and group photos. Wide-angle lenses typically have a focal length of less than 35mm. In addition to photography, the term "wide-angle" can also refer to other visual media, such as film and television. In these contexts, wide-angle shots can create a sense of depth and space, enhancing the viewer's experience by providing a more immersive perspective.
