Would the expression "objects are closer than they appear" apply, given the wide angle lens on this camera?

Id say things seems the opposite they almost seem farther away, great quality camera though.I drive a 2008 Infiniti G35X (with this camera installed)and had a Loaner 2014 Infiniti Q50 for a day and this camera was slightly better quality than the factory one in the Q50!

Without a doubt. But the distance marks help out. Back up to your garage door stopping at each different mark and measure the distance. You'll be surprised how close even the furthest mark will be. In traffic cars 4-6 car lengths back will be very, very small.

Don't worry with this expression; this is just a disclaimer. The objects appear 100% accurate.

Just to clarify: if the image was an exact ratio, your angle of view would probably not be greater than 90°. If this were the case you would be missing out on seeing much of the area directly behind the vehicle

Yes, but depending on the length of the lens you may get a shadow on your subject.

More or less a wide view. It can be adjusted though to be a pretty tight shot.

Yep! But since it's a cropped camera it will only use the center of the lens. So at the 28 mm end, it will be 35. Now actually wide angle. This is a pro lens. Don't put it on a consumer camera. If have the money , buy the 6d. This is how you get pictures that look magazine quality vs vacation/home quality.

I returned this lens and the camera that used it. I suppose it's more or less the equivalent of a 35mm in full frame, a bit of a wide angle.

Yes! A wide angle lens will always be helpful when taking the group shots especially if you do not have plenty of space to back up. It is also helpful in getting those shots that capture the entire event that is taking place.

Yep works fine, pic quality though comes down a bit, but sure does increase the wide angle by a lot + fols look a lot thinner due to the curvature. :p

This is not a fisheye lens. Look for a full frame fisheye (not circular image fisheye) to get the results you want. Any wide angle lens (including this one) will mean you have to be very, very close to the action - like within a foot or two.

Yes, it's wider angle since it's a 24mm vs. a 35mm lens giving you a wider field of view. Compared to your 35mm f1.8 OSS, it doesn't have OSS.

no it doesn't, because of the wide lens, it needs to incorporate the entire focus on the subject that you are shooting. for the money I think it works to the best of it's ability.

I've always considered lenses of less than 35 mm "wide-angle". It's a matter of degree, but I would consider 28mm a wide angle lens. Since around 50mm is "standard" focal length, it is quite a bit wider than that.

I don't disagree that it is intended for close objects. That being said, the image at distance is remarkably clear.

Yes, the wide angle lens shows a mechanical vignetting at a lower aperature. Even my telephoto lens did that at a lower aperture. I don't like that and I alway try to not show that in my shots because I don't like the abrupt look of the vignetting looking completely black. I like the more natural vignetting. Either way, I am still fine with this product because it does an ok job for the price.

I would consider it a normal lens. That said it is definitely on the border between 'normal' and 'wide'.

if you look at the descrition of the camaera, you will see that it has a wide-angle lens by definition.i am dooing great shots using it - indoors and outdoors. regards, karl

I believe that it would. You might like a stronger lens that provides a wider parameter.

Wide angle refers to a lens that has a short focal length, thus capturing more of the scene in the photo. This is a micro lens (Nikon calls them macro), which allows you to take pictures of objects very close up, so that they appear larger in the photo than they actually exist in real life.
