Focal length, distortion, and glass character that rewrite perspective.

Rectilinear Wide-Angle Family
Rectilinear Wide-Angle FamilyLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+3 variantsSpecify the image format and selected rectilinear focal length; preserve straight scene lines and intentional camera distances. Translation may create parallax, but a fixed viewpoint must not acquire invented perspective motion.
Normal-Angle Lens Family
Normal-Angle Lens FamilyLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+1 variantState the format and moderate focal-length choice, set a deliberate working distance, and keep proportions consistent with that viewpoint rather than claiming the lens reproduces human vision.
Telephoto Field Selection
Telephoto Field SelectionLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+3 variantsUse the specified format, focal length and working distance to select a narrow field; preserve depth order and fixed-viewpoint proportions, with focus assigned to the intended distant action.
Macro Reproduction
Macro ReproductionLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+2 variantsDefine reproduction ratio and active sensor width, keep the object field calibrated and respect shallow axial depth; do not infer universal working distance or claim digital enlargement is measured optical magnification.
Anamorphic Capture and Display
Anamorphic Capture and DisplayLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedTrack whether the source is squeezed or display-ready, apply the matching desqueeze only once when required, and validate round references and human proportions in the final aspect ratio.
Fisheye Projection
Fisheye ProjectionLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedMaintain one consistent curvilinear projection centered on the optical axis; scene lines bend systematically, and the mapping must not wobble independently over time.
Close-Focus Probe View
Close-Focus Probe ViewLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+1 variantPlan clearance for the probe’s front tip and barrel, distinguish front-element working distance from sensor focus distance, and preserve real near-field parallax without intersecting solid objects.
Non-Anamorphic Imaging
Non-Anamorphic ImagingLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedUse equal horizontal and vertical image scale with no anamorphic desqueeze; retain the chosen lens’s own projection and iris behavior rather than forcing flare or aspect-ratio stereotypes.
Distant-Viewpoint Compression
Distant-Viewpoint CompressionLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedEstablish a distant camera station and separated depth planes, then use focal length for framing. Preserve that viewpoint while occlusion reveals the real separation; never animate the background forward to simulate compression.
Tilted Focus Plane
Tilted Focus PlaneLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedCalibrate the tilted focus plane through the intended working features, hold lens shift at zero for this example, and let blur follow scene depth relative to that plane rather than a flat screen-space stripe.
Characterized Vintage-Style Optics
Characterized Vintage-Style OpticsLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedUse a limited, characterized optical response: motivated veiling flare may rise and recover as a source grazes the lens, while eye detail and stable geometry remain intact; do not add unrelated film-damage overlays.
