Note: The AoV and FoV listed below are for perfectly equiangular fisheye or perfectly rectilinear lenses. Most (all) lenses have mapping functions that differ slightly from the perfect theoretical projection, or even a slightly different focal length, thus the actual AoV and FoV will differ slightly from the ones listed in the table.
