Straight lines appearing as curved lines through the lens isn't necessarily a bad thing. Examples of distortion with the Superfish Lens: With wide lenses, you get what is called Barrel Distortion where the lines curve outwards. This happens because the lens is trying to squeeze a really wide field of view onto a sensor that doesn't quite match that size. While different types of lenses have different amounts and types of distortion, generally you get more distortion the wider a lens is.

If you've used our Superfish Lens before, you've probably noticed that "fish-eye" or "barrel" effect in your images, with lines being curved towards the edges. In basic terms, lens distortion is when a lens sees curvy lines when there should be straight lines. Before diving in to learn how to use this feature, let's go over what this feature is all about.
