Mark Rabiner marked...
When i think superwide i think the 38 Hasselblad Biogon. A 96 degree diagonal
viewing angle.
On a 35mm camera that would be a 19.4mm lens.
So that splits the dif between a 21 and a 15 almost.
I think 21 is where superwide starts.
24 is very wide
28 is pretty darn wide
35 is thinking about being wide

But i think we should call the 12 ultrawide.
