Camera lenses with an angular field of view more than 100 degrees are classified as what?

• A. Normal Angle Lens
• B. Wide Angle Lens
• C. Ultra Wide Angle Lens
• D. Super Wide Angle Lens

Answer: (D)

Lenses are grouped by how wide a view they capture. When the angular field of view exceeds 100 degrees, it falls into the super wide category. This label marks lenses that offer an exceptionally broad view, often at the cost of more distortion toward the edges. In contrast, a normal lens covers a perspective close to how we see the world, and a wide-angle lens stretches the scene but typically stays under or around that 100-degree mark. Some catalogs call lenses around 100–120 degrees ultra-wide, but the convention used here assigns anything over 100 degrees to the super wide category. That’s why the best answer is Super Wide Angle Lens. This type is especially useful for landscapes, architecture, and tight interiors where you want a sweeping frame.
