Ultra Wide 14mm — AI lens choice prompt
Ultra Wide 14mm is a lens whose optical character the model can reproduce. Here is the phrase to use, what it changes, and which models render it reliably.
The prompt phrase
Ultra Wide 14mm
14mm ultra wide-angle lens, expansive perspective with slight barrel distortionFocal length sets perspective and compression. It is the difference between a portrait that flatters and one that distorts.
A worked example
An astronaut floating beside a station window, 14mm ultra wide-angle lens, expansive perspective with slight barrel distortionYour subject comes first, then the technique, then anything else. Models weight the front of a prompt most heavily, so keep the subject there and let the lens choice modify it.

Common questions
What exactly do I put in the prompt?
The phrase above, word for word: "14mm ultra wide-angle lens, expansive perspective with slight barrel distortion". Put it after your subject, separated by a comma.
Which models handle this best?
The 8 models in the table all support it. Flux Schnell is the cheapest way to test it at 1 credits, then move up a tier once the shot works.
Can I combine it with other lens choices?
Yes. Stacking two or three related instructions is normal; stacking six competing ones is where results start to fall apart.
