The term 'kind of lens with a wide angle' can be summarized as a fisheye lens, which is a seven-letter word. A fisheye lens is an ultra-wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion, resulting in a characteristic convex non-rectilinear image. It is commonly used in photography to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image. Fisheye lenses are also used in scientific applications such as astronomy and meteorology.
