[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 329058, member: 12496"] The number 50 mm was only historically important, in relation to 35mm film... The film diagonal size (43 mm) was near 50 mm, so 50 mm was considered a "normal lens" (a round number, with a field of view comparable to what the eye thought it remembered seeing there). In the old days, 35 mm cameras without interchangable lenses had 50 mm lenses on them, and the standard interchangeable lens was 50mm. Considered a "normal" view. This for 35m film size of course. But not the same thing on DX, with a 29mm diagonal, which would imply about a 35mm lens would be much more useful "normally". The 50mm is a mild telephoto lens on DX. There are new lenses available now for DX. [/QUOTE]
