Why, when I use a wide angle lens I always get picture edges blurred and out of focus?

Ya, when I use a wide angle lens I always get picture edges blurred and out of focus whereas the shot's center frame is just fine. So I regularly have to crop my pictures shot with the wide angle.Is it my wide angle lens' fault, my fault or well-known normal phenomenon? My digital camera is Olympus C750 and the wide angle lens is 0.45 by Kenzo.

Lens of Quality... Simply put, it is the quality of the lens. One of the biggest challenges faced by a lens designer is creating a flat focal plane for any lens with few abberations (optical distortions). There are many ways to do this and all cost money.

The answer could be more lens elements, better glass or using complex (and expensive to make) curves on the lens elements. The designers all know this and usually make some decision on how good they will make the lens in relation to how much it will cost to make. The classic engineering trade-off.

One thing you can try is not to open up the lens all the way, but keep it stopped down by one or two stops. If the lens is f/3 use f/4 or f/5.6 instead, this often avoids the problem at the cost of making your exposures a little longer. You can do this with the aperture priority mode in most cameras.

The only other solution is to buy a better lens and read the reviews first. A good reviewer will cover that exact issue. Andrew .

Adaptor lenses tend to be less than perfect The telephoto and wide angle adapter lenses for point-and-shoot cameras tend to be low in quality and it is not unusual to see this type of distortion. It's worse, in my opinion, when you use a third party lens, rather than the one made by the manufacturer. The manufacturer may try to optimize the adaptor lens for the specific camera.

A third party vendor is trying to sell the same lens on any camera it will fit on. I bought a wide angle adaptor for my old Fuji point-and-shoot and it had the same behavior. Sharp in the center, blurry and distorted around the edges.

If you REALLY want to shoot wide angle, consider the upgrade to a DSLR, where you can get STUNNING ultra wide angle lenses. Yes, you're in a different price class, but the results are worlds better. If not, then, as an old friend used to say, allow for some "texas windage."

Make sure you zoom further out and plan to crop the image to the better part of the lens. You're losing resolution, but you're getter sharper pictures. Good luck!.

What is the best wide angle lens for the Canon 5d, Mark II.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
