Wide Angle Perspective

In the course of a fierce debate about fisheye vs rectilinear
perspective on rec.photo.equipment.35mm I have generated a couple
of exaggerated example images of the same scene in various projections:
<http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/perspective/Wide_Angle_Perspective.html>

I do not want to start a fight on this list, but rather
demonstrate

o the pros and cons of rectilinear/panoramic/fisheye perspectives.

o the ease to convert one projection into another one using free software.

So irrespective of the photographic equipment you choose to buy
you can generate any image type you like.

Best regards

Helmut Dersch
