    Is there a set point when wide becomes ultra wide?

    Typically (FF equivalent):

    Wider than 24mm = ultrawide angle
    24mm - 35mm = wide angle
    36mm - ~60mm = normal
    ~60mm - 100mm = short telephoto
    100mm - 300mm = telephoto
    Longer than 300mm = super telephoto

    Technically, 24mm on APS-C isn't even wide angle, it's normal (which is why I don't usually recommend 24-xx zooms as walkaround lenses for crop bodies).
