    Which rule a fisheye obeys, from straightness alone

    Four candidate rules for a fisheye lens part by 54.0 per cent at 45° off axis, and a plumb-line fit shown no scene, no camera and no calibration target can still name which one took a photograph — reliably from about 45° of half-field. Below that the four are indistinguishable in the marks, and naming one collapses to guessing.
