szerokoktne

Szerokokątne is a Polish adjective meaning wide-angle. In Polish, the form szerokokątne is used to describe nouns that are of or relating to a wide angle or broad field of view. The term is formed from szeroko- ("wide") and kąt ("angle"), with the suffix -ny/-ne to form an adjective. The standard masculine noun form is szerokokątny, feminine szerokokątna, neuter szerokokątne; used to modify nouns such as obiektyw (wide-angle lens), ujęcie (shot), perspektywa (perspective).

In practice, szerokokątne is most common in photography, cinematography, and optics to denote wide-angle characteristics. A szerokokątny obiektyw commonly has a short focal length, enabling a large field of view and distinctive perspective distortion; typical ranges on full-frame sensors are around 14–24 mm for standard to ultra-wide, and 8–12 mm for ultra-wide.

The term also occurs in other domains, such as cartography and architecture, to describe wide-angle representations or drawings.

Notes: The form szerokoktne without diacritic is likely a misspelling of szerokokątne.
