Does your replacement lens use “Fish Eye” to achieve the stated 110 FOV? Can you post a standard PIC and a PIC done with your camera so I can see the difference?

@wa_picam Yes, the lens is a “Fish Eye” to achieve the stated 110 FOV, there is some distortion, but it is minimal. We don’t have any standard RPi cams around to give a comparison, but here is a video back when they were the standard on the BlueROV2.
