Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox lens design A fisheye lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image.[1][2]Шаблон:Rp Fisheye lenses achieve extremely wide angles of view, well beyond any rectilinear lens. Instead of producing images with straight lines of perspective (rectilinear images), fisheye lenses use a special mapping ("distortion"; for example: equisolid angle, see below), which gives images a characteristic convex non-rectilinear appearance.

The term fisheye was coined in 1906 by American physicist and inventor Robert W. Wood based on how a fish would see an ultrawide hemispherical view from beneath the water (a phenomenon known as Snell's window).[3][2]Шаблон:Rp Their first practical use was in the 1920s for use in meteorology[4][5] to study cloud formation giving them the name "whole-sky lenses". The angle of view of a fisheye lens is usually between 100 and 180 degrees,[1] although lenses covering up to 280 degrees exist (see below). Their focal lengths depend on the film format they are designed for.

Mass-produced fisheye lenses for photography first appeared in the early 1960s[6] and are generally used for their unique, distorted appearance. For the popular [[135 film|35Шаблон:Nbspmm film]] format, typical focal lengths of fisheye lenses are 8–10 mm for circular images, and 12–18 mm for diagonal images filling the entire frame. For digital cameras using smaller imagers such as Шаблон:Frac″ and Шаблон:Frac″ format CCD or CMOS sensors, the focal length of "miniature" fisheye lenses can be as short as 1–2 mm.

Fisheye lenses also have other applications, such as re-projecting images originally filmed through a fisheye lens, or created via computer-generated graphics, onto hemispherical screens. They are also used for scientific photography, such as recordings of aurora and meteors, and to study plant canopy geometry, and to calculate near-ground solar radiation. In everyday life, they are perhaps most commonly encountered as peephole door viewers to give a wide field of view.

History and development

Panoramas with fisheye distortion predate photography and the fisheye lens. In 1779, Horace Bénédict de Saussure published his downward-facing fisheye view of the Alps: "All the objects are drawn in perspective from the centre".[7]

In 1906, Wood published a paper detailing an experiment in which he built a camera in a water-filled pail starting with a photographic plate at the bottom, a short focus lens with a pinhole diaphragm located approximately halfway up the pail, and a sheet of glass at the rim to suppress ripples in the water. The experiment was Wood's attempt "to ascertain how the external world appears to the fish" and hence the title of the paper was "Fish-Eye Views, and Vision under Water".[3] Wood subsequently built an improved "horizontal" version of the camera omitting the lens, instead using a pinhole pierced in the side of a tank, which was filled with water and a photographic plate. In the text, he described a third "Fish-Eye" camera built using sheet brass, the primary advantages being that this one was more portable than the other two cameras, and was "absolutely leaktight".[3] In his conclusion, Wood thought that "the device will photograph the entire sky [so] a sunshine recorder could be made on this principle, which would require no adjustment for latitude or month" but also wryly noted "the views used for the illustration of this paper savour somewhat of the 'freak' pictures of the magazines."[3]

W.N. Bond described an improvement to Wood's apparatus in 1922 which replaced the tank of water with a simple hemispheric glass lens, making the camera significantly more portable. The focal length depended on the refractive index and radius of the hemispherical lens, and the maximum aperture was approximately Шаблон:F/50; it was not corrected for chromatic aberration and projected a curved field onto a flat plate. Bond noted the new lens could be used to record cloud cover or lightning strikes at a given location.[9] Bond's hemispheric lens also reduced the need for a pinhole aperture to ensure sharp focus, so exposure times were also reduced.[10]

Hill Sky Lens

Файл:Hill Sky Lens (1924).svg
Hill/Beck Sky Lens (1923, GB 225,398)[11]

In 1924, Robin Hill first described a lens with 180° coverage that had been used for a cloud survey in September 1923[4] The lens, designed by Hill and R. & J. Beck, Ltd., was patented in December 1923.[11] The Hill Sky Lens is now credited as the first fisheye lens.[2]Шаблон:Rp Hill also described three different mapping functions of a lens designed to capture an entire hemisphere (stereographic, equidistant, and orthographic).[4][12] Distortion is unavoidable in a lens that encompasses an angle of view exceeding 125°, but Hill and Beck claimed in the patent that stereographic or equidistant projection were the preferred mapping functions.[11] The three-element, three-group lens design uses a highly divergent meniscus lens as the first element to bring in light over a wide view followed by a converging lens system to project the view onto a flat photographic plate.[11]

The Hill Sky Lens was fitted to a whole sky camera, typically used in a pair separated by Шаблон:Convert for stereo imaging, and equipped with a red filter for contrast; in its original form, the lens had a focal length of Шаблон:Convert and cast an image Шаблон:Convert in diameter at Шаблон:F/8.[13] Conrad Beck described the camera system in an article published in 1925.[14] At least one has been reconstructed.[15]

German and Japanese development

Файл:AEG Weitwinkelobjectiv (1932).svg
Schulz/AEG Weitwinkelobjektiv (1932, DE 620538)[16]

In 1932, the German firm Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft AG (AEG) filed for a patent on the Weitwinkelobjektiv (wide-angle lens), a 5-element, 4-group development of the Hill Sky Lens.[2]Шаблон:Rp[16] Compared to the 1923 Hill Sky Lens, the 1932 Weitwinkelobjektiv featured two diverging meniscus elements ahead of the stop and used a cemented achromatic group in the converging section.[16] Miyamoto credits Hans Schulz with the design of the Weitwinkelobjektiv.[12] The basic patented design was produced for cloud recording as a 17 mm Шаблон:F/6.3 lens,[17] and Umbo used the AEG lens for artistic purposes, with photographs published in a 1937 issue of Volk und Welt.[18]

The AEG Weitwinkelobjektiv formed the basis of the later Nippon Kogaku (Nikon) Fisheye-Nikkor 16 mm Шаблон:F/8 lens of 1938, which was used for military and scientific (cloud cover) purposes.[17][19] Nikon, which had a contract to supply optics to the Imperial Japanese Navy, possibly gained access to the AEG design under the Pact of Steel.[19]

Файл:Richter-Zeiss Pleon (1938).svg

Also in 1938, Robert Richter of Carl Zeiss AG patented the 6-element, 5-group Pleon lens,[20] which was used for aerial surveillance during World War II. The converging rear group of the Pleon was symmetrical, derived from the 4-element Topogon lens designed by Richter for Zeiss in 1933. Testing on a captured lens after the war showed the Pleon provided an equidistant projection to cover a field of approximately 130°, and negatives were printed using a special rectifying enlarger to eliminate distortion.[2]Шаблон:Rp[21] The Pleon had a focal length of approximately 72.5 mm with a maximum aperture of Шаблон:F/8 and used a plano-concave front element Шаблон:Convert in diameter; the image on the negative was approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter.[21]

Merté/Zeiss Sphaerogon (1935, DE 672 393[22] and US 2,126,126)[23]

At approximately the same time that Schulz was developing the Weitwinkelobjektiv at AEG, Шаблон:Ill at Zeiss was developing the Sphaerogon, which was also designed to encompass a 180° field of view.[22][23] Unlike the Weitwinkelobjektiv, Merté's Sphaerogon was not limited to medium format cameras; prototype versions of the Sphaerogon were constructed for the Contax I miniature format camera. The first prototype Sphaerogon lenses constructed had a maximum aperture of Шаблон:F/8, but later examples were computed half a stop faster, to Шаблон:F/6.8.[24] Several prototype examples of Sphaerogon lenses were recovered as part of the Zeiss Lens Collection seized by the Army Signal Corps as war reparations in 1945;[25] the collection, which the Zeiss firm had retained as a record of their designs, was later documented by Merté, the former head of optical computation for CZJ, working under Signal Corps officer Edward Kaprelian.[26][27]

After the war, the Fisheye-Nikkor lens was mated to a medium format camera and was produced in slightly modified form (focal length increased slightly to 16.3 mm) as the "Sky-image Recording Camera" in March 1957 for the Japanese government,[28] followed by a commercial release as the Nikon Fisheye Camera (also known as the "Nikon Sky Camera" or "Nikon Cloud Camera") in September 1960, which had a retail price of Шаблон:JPY.[29] The revised lens created a circular image Шаблон:Convert in diameter and covered a complete hemispherical field of 180°.[30] Only 30 examples of the Nikon Fisheye Camera were manufactured, and of those, 18 were sold to customers, mainly in the United States; Nikon likely destroyed the remaining stock to avoid tax penalties.[31] Photographs taken with the Fisheye Camera that were published in Life in 1957 marked the first wide exposure of the public to fisheye distortion;[32] including a photograph of the United States Senate caucus room, taken by Ed Clark and published in an April 1957 issue,[33] and a photograph of pole vaulter Bob Gutowski taken by Ralph Crane, published in July 1957.[34]

The Nikon Fisheye Camera was discontinued in September 1961,[28] and Nikon subsequently introduced the first regular production fisheye lens for 35 mm cameras in 1962,[12] the Fisheye-Nikkor 8 mm Шаблон:F/8,[35] which required the reflex mirror on its Nikon F and Nikkormat cameras to be locked up prior to mounting the lens. Prior to the early 1960s, fisheye lenses were used primarily by professional and scientific photographers, but the advent of the fisheye for the 35 mm format increased its popular use.[36] The Fisheye-Nikkor 8 mm Шаблон:F/8 has a field of view of 180° and uses 9 elements in 5 groups; it has a fixed focus and built-in filters intended for black-and-white photography. Research indicates that fewer than 1,400 lenses were built.[37] As fisheye lenses became more widely available, the distinctive distortion grew in popularity, especially for album covers. For example, British fashion photographer Tim Walker used a fisheye lens to capture the cover of Harry Styles' 2019 pop/rock album, Fine Line.[38] Other genres that have taken advantage of the fisheye lens look include punk rock, hip-hop, and skateboarding videos.[32]

Nikon subsequently released several more milestone circular fisheye lenses in Nikon F mount through the 1960s and 70s:

  • 10 mm Шаблон:F/5.6 OP (1968), the first fisheye to feature orthographic projection, which was also the first lens to feature an aspherical element[40]
  • 6 mm Шаблон:F/5.6 (1969), the first fisheye to feature a 220° field of view;[6] interestingly, the patent accompanying this lens includes a design for a lens with a 270° field of view.[39] A 6.2 mm Шаблон:F/5.6 SAP fisheye was later produced in limited numbers with an aspherical surface, encompassing a 230° field of view.[41]
  • 8 mm Шаблон:F/2.8 (1970), the first circular fisheye with variable focus, automatic aperture, and reflex viewing (mirror lock-up no longer required).[6]

Contemporaneously, other Japanese manufacturers were developing the so-called "full-frame" or diagonal fisheyes, which captured approximately a 180° field of view across the diagonal of the film frame. The first such diagonal fisheye was the Fish-eye Takumar 18 mm Шаблон:F/11, released by Pentax (Asahi Optical) in 1962,[41][42][43] followed by the slightly faster UW Rokkor-PG 18 mm Шаблон:F/9.5 from Minolta in 1966.[44] Both of these were reflex-viewing and fixed-focus. Both Pentax and Minolta followed up with faster lenses with variable focus in 1967 (Super Fish-eye-Takumar 17 mm Шаблон:F/4)[45] and 1969 (Rokkor-OK 16 mm Шаблон:F/2.8),[46][47] respectively. The 16 mm Rokkor was later adopted by Leica as the Fisheye-Elmarit-R (1974) for its SLRs and then converted to autofocus (1986) for the Alpha system. Шаблон:As of, the same basic optical design is still sold as the Sony SAL16F28.

Design

Unlike rectilinear lenses, fisheye lenses are not fully characterised by focal length and aperture alone. Angle of view, image diameter, projection type, and sensor coverage all vary independently of these.

In a circular fisheye lens, the image circle is inscribed in the film or sensor area; in a diagonal ("full-frame") fisheye lens, the image circle is circumscribed around the film or sensor area. This implies that using a fisheye lens for a different format than it was intended for is easy (as opposed to a rectilinear lens), and may change its characteristic.

Further, different fisheye lenses map ("distort") images differently, and the manner of distortion is referred to as their mapping function. A common type for consumer use is equisolid angle.

Although there are digital fisheye effects available both in-camera and as computer software, neither can extend the angle of view of the original images to the very large one of a true fisheye lens.

Focal length

The focal length is determined by the angular coverage, the specific mapping function used, and the required dimensions of the final image. Focal lengths for popular amateur camera sizes are computed as:

Circular fisheyes

The first types of fisheye lenses developed were "circular" — lenses which took in a 180° hemisphere and projected it as a circle within the film frame. By design, circular fisheye lenses thus cover a smaller image circle than rectilinear lenses designed for the same sensor size. The corners of a circular fisheye image will be completely black. This blackness is different from the gradual vignetting of rectilinear lenses and sets on abruptly.

Some circular fisheyes were available in orthographic projection models for scientific applications. These have a 180° vertical, horizontal and diagonal angle of view.

For APS and m43 cameras, several lenses have emerged that retain a 180° field of view on a crop body. The first of these was the Sigma 4.5Шаблон:Nbspmm.[49] Sunex also makes a 5.6Шаблон:Nbspmm fisheye lens that captures a circular 185° field of view on a 1.5x Nikon and 1.6x Canon DSLR cameras.

Nikon produced a 6 mm circular fisheye lens for 35 mm film that was initially designed for an expedition to Antarctica. It featured a 220° field of view, designed to capture the entire sky and surrounding ground when pointed straight up. This lens is no longer manufactured,[50] and is used nowadays to produce interactive virtual-reality images such as QuickTime VR and IPIX. Because of its very wide field of view, it is very large — weighing Шаблон:Convert, having a diameter of Шаблон:Convert, a length of Шаблон:Convert and an angle of view of 220 degrees. It dwarfs a regular 35 mm SLR camera[51] and has its own tripod mounting point, a feature normally seen in large long-focus or telephoto lenses to reduce strain on the lens mount. The lens is extremely rare.[52]

More recently, the Japanese manufacturer Entaniya offers several fisheye lenses with angles of view up to 250° on 35 mm full frame, and up to 280° on smaller sensors (see list below). In 2018, Venus Optics introduced a 210° fisheye lens for the Micro Four Thirds system.[53]

The 8 mm and 7.5 mm circular fisheye lenses made by Nikon have proven useful for scientific purposes because of their equidistant (equiangular) projection, in which distance along the radius of the circular image is proportional to the zenith angle.

Diagonal fisheyes (a.k.a. full-frame or rectangular)

As fisheye lenses gained popularity in general photography, camera companies began manufacturing fisheye lenses with an enlarged image circle to cover the entire rectangular film frame. They are called diagonal, or sometimes "rectangular" or "full-frame", fisheyes. (This was well before digital photography, so the use of the term "full frame" with respect to fisheyes has nothing to do with the use of the term to designate a digital sensor measuring 36x24 mm).[54]

The angle of view produced by diagonal fisheyes only measures 180° from corner to corner: they have a 180° diagonal angle of view (AOV), while the horizontal and vertical angles of view will be smaller. For an equisolid angle 15 mm full-frame fisheye, the horizontal AOV will be 147°, and the vertical AOV will be 94°.[55]

One of the first diagonal fisheye lenses to be mass-produced was the Nikon Fisheye-Nikkor F 16mm Шаблон:F/3.5, made in the early 1970s.

To obtain the same effect on digital cameras with smaller sensors, shorter focal lengths are required. Nikon makes a 10.5 mm fisheye for their APS DX SLRs.[56] Several other companies make "full frame", i.e. diagonal, fisheyes for APS and m43 cameras, see next paragraph.

Portrait or cropped-circle fisheyes

An intermediate between a diagonal and a circular fisheye consists of a circular image optimised for the width of the film format rather than the height. As a result, on any non-square film format, the circular image will be cropped at the top and bottom, but still show black edges on the left and right. This format is called a "portrait" fisheye;[57] historically, it has been rather rare - only the 12 mm f/8 Accura lens (see list below) directly follows the portrait principle. Today however, a portrait fisheye effect is easily achieved by using a fisheye lens intended for full coverage of a smaller sensor format, like an APS diagonal fisheye on a 35 mm full frame camera, or an m43 diagonal fisheye on APS.

Miniature fisheye lenses

Miniature digital cameras, especially when used as security cameras, often tend to have fisheye lenses to maximize coverage. Miniature fisheye lenses are designed for small-format CCD/CMOS imagers commonly used in consumer and security cameras.[58][59] Popular image sensor format sizes used include Шаблон:Frac", Шаблон:Frac", and Шаблон:Frac". Depending on the active area of the image sensor, the same lens can form a circular image on a larger image sensor (e.g. Шаблон:Frac"), and a full frame on a smaller one (e.g. Шаблон:Frac").

Examples and specific models

Noteworthy fisheye lenses for APS-C cameras

The APS-C image sensor used in Canon cameras is Шаблон:Convert, or Шаблон:Convert on the diagonal, which is slightly smaller than the sensor size used by other popular manufacturers of cameras with APS-C sensors, such as Fuji, Minolta, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony. The other common APS-C sensors range from Шаблон:Convert on the long dimension and Шаблон:Convert on the shorter side, for a diagonal between Шаблон:Convert.

Mapping function

The subject is placed in the image by the lens according to the mapping function of the lens. The mapping function gives <math>r</math>, the position of the object from the center of the image, as a function of <math>f</math>, the focal length, and <math>\theta</math>, the angle from the optical axis. <math>\theta</math> is measured in radians.

Notes Works like the pinhole camera. Straight lines remain straight (distortion free). <math>\theta</math> has to be smaller than 90°. The aperture angle is gaged symmetrically to the optical axis and has to be smaller than 180°. Large aperture angles are difficult to design and lead to high prices. Maintains angles. This mapping would be ideal for photographers because it doesn't compress marginal objects as much. Samyang is the only manufacturer to produce this kind of fisheye lens, but it is available under different brand names. This mapping is easily implemented by software. Maintains angular distances. Practical for angle measurement (e.g., star maps). PanoTools uses this type of mapping. Maintains surface relations. Every pixel subtends an equal solid angle, or an equal area on the unit sphere. Looks like a mirror image on a ball, best special effect (unsophisticated distances), suitable for area comparison (clouds grade determination). This type is popular but it compresses marginal objects. The prices of these lenses are high, but not extreme. Maintains planar illuminance. Looks like an orb with the surroundings lying on < max. 180° aperture angle. Highly distorted near the edge of the image, but image in center is less compressed.

Other mapping functions (for example Panomorph Lenses) are also possible for enhancing the off-axis resolution of fisheye lenses.

With appropriate software, the curvilinear images produced by a fisheye lens can be remapped to a conventional rectilinear projection. Although this entails some loss of detail at the edges of the frame, the technique can produce an image with a field of view greater than that of a conventional rectilinear lens. This is particularly useful for creating panoramic images.

All types of fisheye lenses bend straight lines. Aperture angles of 180° or more are possible only with large amounts of barrel distortion.
