Which is better, fisheye lens or wide-angle lens in panoramic vr production?

Now with the development of 5G network, panorama has become a popular display mode. How were these panoramic views taken? This question is what most people want to know. Is fisheye lens or wide-angle lens more suitable for panoramic shooting? Let's take a look!

Then panoramic shooting, lens and wide-angle lens can be. Both of these lenses have a wide angle of view and can shoot a wide scene. Let's take a look at the advantages of fisheye lens and wide-angle lens for panoramic shooting.

As we know, fisheye lens, as a very special lens, is also deeply loved by photographers, and it also has great advantages to take panoramic photos with fisheye lens. Take 135 SLR camera lens as an example. Fish-eye lens is a kind of ultra-wide-angle photographic lens with short focal length, and the focal length is about 6-16 mm. In order to make the lens reach the maximum photographic angle, the front lens of this photographic lens has a short diameter and protrudes parabolically in front of the lens, which is similar to fish's eyes, so it is called fish-eye lens. It can be said that the fisheye lens is a special lens with super wide angle. Its focal length is extremely short, and its viewing angle is close to or can reach 180 degrees, which is beyond the range that human eyes can see.

A wide-angle lens is a lens with a shorter focal length than a standard lens. General wide-angle lenses have a focal length of 38-24 mm and a viewing angle of 60-84 degrees. Wide-angle camera can shoot a large area of scenery in a short shooting distance because of its short focal length and large viewing angle, and the viewing angle is limited.

The fisheye lens can create a strong perspective effect when shooting near the subject, emphasizing the distance and small contrast, so that the shot picture has a shocking appeal. At the same time, the fisheye lens has a long depth of field, which is beneficial to show the long depth of field effect of photos. The image taken with fisheye lens is distorted and has a strong sense of perspective convergence. Connecting the fisheye lens directly to the camera can produce distorted and exaggerated effects, but the scenery of the photos taken with the fisheye lens will be strongly distorted.

Wide-angle lens has a large viewing angle and a wide field of vision. The range of scenery observed from a certain viewpoint is much larger than that seen by human eyes at the same viewpoint, which can show a fairly clear range and also emphasize the perspective effect of the picture. He is good at exaggerating the foreground and expressing the sense of distance of the scene, but the visual range of the wide-angle lens is still a little small. If you take a panoramic view, there are many 360-degree panoramic views, which is inconvenient for post-processing.
