Very interesting, I did not know this. So much I still have to learn about lenses and photography

"So even though both the 8 mm equiangular and 10 mm equidistant projections have the same 180 degree diagonal angle of view, the 8 mm equiangular lens has a greater horizontal and vertical angle of view. It doesn’t curve quite as much, but still pretty dramatic."

To me 8mm is just wider than 10, but here I'm proven wrong. I understand the level of Fisheye in the lens determines the diagonal angle and therefore the total width. Very interesting, thank you!
