Wide-angle lenses enable you to cram much more into your scene, with an angle of view that pulls more than the eye can see into the frame. The widest angles available in non-fisheye lenses used to be 16mm or 14mm for full-frame cameras, but more recently we've seen lenses that stretch to 12mm and even 11mm. A few more millimetres of focal length may not sound like much, but the effect on viewing angle at this end of the zoom range is a big deal, at around 126 degrees for an 11mm lens as opposed to 114 degrees for a 14mm lens.
Ultra-wide lenses come with a caveat: capturing the light at such extreme viewing angles necessitates the inclusion of bulbous front elements that make using regular filters impossible. However, Nikon created one of the world's widest ultra-wide lenses with a flat front element in the form of the Z 14-30mm f/4 S, enabling the use of screw-in filters or filter holders.
