With all this talk about wide angles and distortion ...
If you watch US pro football on CBS
the broadcast seems to be using a rectilinear lens these days.
The horizontal lines are just too straight and it's especially easy to see when
they shoot from the end zone.
Sort of makes TV look like a video game.
BTW, rectilinear is a distortion, not the lack of it. It's done to produce an
effect which is not natural to either the human eye's vision characteristics or
to normal lens designs.
Sincerely,
C. Brendemuehl
