    Every fisheye is a different rule

    The word "fisheye" names a shape of lens and not a projection. There are several, they disagree with each other by tens of per cent at the frame edge, and each is the right answer to a different question — one is a protractor, one is a counting instrument, one preserves shape. Which one a lens implements is a fact about that lens, and it is rarely printed on the barrel.
