Fixed
focus lenses
Many
vintage cameras, cheaper film cameras, web cameras and some specialist
cameras like panoramic cameras with rotating lenses have what is called
a fixed focus lens. Here the lens is set to one focus point and can not
be altered. To compensate for this many of these cameras have wide angle
lenses which offer a great depth of field.

Pinhole
cameras are different in that because they are focused on all points,
they have an overall sharpness or unsharpness at all points.
