Actually, "seeing wider than you perceive with your
eyes"
is a personal thing...;-) Some people rarely consciously
attend to areas in their vision wider than maybe 500mm
equivalent, with most of the attention being in a VERY
tiny area, equivalent to thousands of mm FL in 35mm-format
terms; others can see angles approaching 200 degrees (yes,
a bit behind the position of the eyes...); most with any
interest in "wide angle vision" see what most good
glasses
will cover (about the equivalent of a 15-20mm lens in 35mm).
For more on this, and on perspective (we see in
"fisheye
perspective", contrary to popular opinion...;-), see:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/articles.html#perspective (wait
for the long page to load - it should then jump to the
seeing article...).
