I've Been Looking for a wide angle lens for a 37mm digital handicam,
I'm kind of new to film and photography. Most of the .45x lenses I've
looked at are fisheye lenses, are all .45x lenses fisheye ? or are
they diffrent from just normal .45x wide angle lenses. Also Is the
lower the number (.45x) the wider the picture or do I want one with
the highest number (.6x)?. Also at what point has the least amount
of noticable distortion.

Yes it would probably be more appropriate to post the question to
rec.photo.digital
