Traditionally wide-angle lenses suffer from image distortion. Depending on how you calculate the distortion you will typically be looking at between 5 to 15%. The lens will also require a very large front clear aperture. Both the distortion and the large diameter would render the design unsuitable for 360° applications. Learn more about the advantages and limitations of moulded aspherical wide angle lens elements that enable you to achieve <1% distortion.
