    A retinal sphere behind an off-centre nodal point takes every measurement this collection puts to a lens or a screen, and answers all of them. It is the equal-area fisheye to within 110 micrometres of retina rather than the equidistant one everybody draws it as, and a flat picture at its own correct distance leaves the identical arc on it, to 1.4e-14 degrees.
