Also referred to as an extreme short focal length (around 15mm) the fish eye lens will gather a whole lot of image and provide unlimited depth of field. However, the distortion is so great that horizontal and vertical lines that are off the central axis are extremely bent to the point where they curve around the perimeter of the lens. Often, the image itself is a circular one.

What aperture would a camera lens with a maximum aperture of f2 would perform best at?

It depends on what you're taking a picture of. A wide aperture (F2) lets in more light and so is better in low light conditions, or when you have to use a fast shutter speed (eg. taking an 'action' shot). A narrow aperture (F11) gives you a greater field depth, ie objects near to you and far away will be in sharper focus. This is useful when you're taking photos of landscape/scenery.


What is the difference between ground level photos and oblique aerial photos?

Oblique Aerial photos are photos taken from an aerial platform where the camera has more than 3 degrees of tilt. "Ground level" photos can either refer to aerial photos taken where the lens is level with the ground or to photos taken where the camera is placed within a few inches of the ground and photo are taken from that perspective.


How are camera lens rated so you know the quality?

There is no standard rating system for lenses, but the quality of a lens is quite important, as it is the most important factor (besides your ability to properly use your camera) in the quality of the photos you will take. In fact, the resolution (clarity and sharpness) of your digital photos is usually limited by the camera's lens, and not by the resolution (number of megapixels) of the camera itself. Unfortunately, the only way to find out for yourself how good a lens is is by shooting photos and seeing how they turn out. Since this isn't usually an option, you might want to visit a camera shop and talk with the staff (but watch out for pushy salesmen). Staff at large appliance stores are not useful sources of information. On-line forums might be useful, or even customer review on places like Amazon. If you have a friend that owns the camera you are interested in, ask to see some of their photos, and see what the quality is. If you can find a review of the camera you are interested in on CNET or COnsumer reports, this would be a good help, too. Buying cameras made by companies known for having good optics (i.e. those who produce higher end cameras, like Leica, Canon or Nikon) would likely ensure a better quality lens. Buying the cheapest camera you can find would pretty much guarantee you cheap optics.
