The Biogon on the SWC and SWC/M is 38mm, I have owned three of them over the

Yes the same focal length can be fisheye or I believe the term is
rectilinear. 30mm is the classic Hassy wide if you don't made the fact that
it doesn't come off its camera and wont go on a normal Hassy SLR. As its a
true wide with elements going right back to the focal plane. For the SLR's
you'd need a 40 which was the widest rectilinear they made. The 30 was a
fisheye.
