Re-reading this old wish of mine and ensuing thread, a few things come
to my mind:

1. after generating CP, run two optimization runs - one assuming
rectilinear and one assuming fisheye.  retain the best result.
applicable only to FoV < 16°

2. pre-calibrated lenses.  add a table for pre-calibrated lenses.
recognize them based on some exiv-combination / fingerprint (can't be
perfect, for example my Sigma 15mm is recognized as Minolta 15mm by
RAWstudio) and access a lens.ini file with all the information.

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Triaged

Bug description:
it seems to me that hugin assumes by default a rectilinear lens and calculates 
HFOV based on the focal distance reported by EXIF and that default assumption.

Is it possible to take the EXIF-FOV instead, and to infer the lens type by 
comparing the expected focal distance with the EXIF-focal_distance?

Also, if hugin is not able to determine the lens type, I'd prefer for it to 
leave it empty rather than default to rectilinear. Or to give the user a 
preference to set the default lens type if it can't be inferred.
