I love ultra wide-angle lens!! Can't find a cell phone with it.

Me too. I have a Panasonic/Leica small digital camera that zooms down to 28mm. Besides that, I've sold all my camera equipment. I use an iPhone 4s and it is good enough for my everyday needs, although I want a new DSLR—as soon as gold goes up in price.

I don't know how to say ,ultra wide-angle lens is the angle of how I view the world.

Do you want 28mm or even wider? If it is 14mm or wider, you would say a fish-eye lens.

I see the world through an ultra wide-angle (XXmm) lens.< That's what I think you want to say. And, yes, I think you do.

I prefer 20-14mm.

That really is wide angle. A good old 28mm is good enough for me. I'm more narrow-minded.

Latest update on the Kawasaki Slasher: His aunt and uncle had not seen his face for over 15 years. He was spotted on a surveillance camera at the scene of the crime four days before he slashed all those people so the crime was not completely random. When Japanese TV gets a story like this, every channel spends hours a day repeating the same stuff over and over with different "experts" called in to comment.

I checked the locale wikipedia ,the definition of ultra wide angle is 12mm-24mm...When I answer you,I reference this:

https://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/simulator/

Angle of view:110°~90°

While I remind memories in my mind,usually is this angle of view.I guess it's very uncommon in human?

Latest update on the Kawasaki Slasher

I don't think it's completely random,he is targeted a private primary school.Japanese media like to spread the fear of murder.

Because of peripheral vision, a young human can see—or at least be aware of—a bit over 180 degrees. You can't really see anything clearly at the extreme edge of your vision, but you are aware of movement.

Fun fact: Japan has a population of about 126 million but has more than 100 thousand hikikomori and the number is growing. Since the Kawasaki incident, thousands of parents have been calling their local city halls asking about what they can do about their hikikomori children, who are almost always male.

I know,but I wanted to say in the memory,seem others would have less angle in their memory...Never mind,It's a kind of feeling hard to explain.

Not must be male,is higher chance to be male,this is the reaction of male brain grow up in an unfriendly environment,female brain grow up in an unfriendly environment would become attention whores and bitches(in most people's words),because only the female brain is "forced social",this term is invented by myself. They can be "交" even in horrible environment ,which I feel is horrible.

Hikikomori have the problem to love humans ,their parents have to ask themselves why they rise a child can't love humans rather than use the murder event to ask the city halls,they shirk the fostering responsibility to the society.

If you say it in the US—and I say it too—that male and female brains are different, you will be attacked by leftists with baseball bats. Maybe in your, secret, country, it is all right though. :)

In Japan 交 means "it is all right to cross the street here." I have to check to see what the other meanings are.

Nice web site. I used to have a Panasonic digicam that zoomed from 28 to 270mm. When my wife and I split up briefly as almost everybody does, I left it at a different woman's apartment and never went back to get it. The models that followed that model were not as good. You have convinced me, so next time I will try an ultrawide lens.

[–]Snow 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Better than no models.

Ha. No, I have never dated any models. The models I meant were Panasonic camera model numbers, but I'm sure you know that. You are pretty clever to make jokes across languages that is really hard to do.

At first, I thought you were a clever young man, like me, but now I'm thinking you might be a medical doctor. You do not need to comment on that.
