[QUOTE="ophiuchus, post: 1838, member: 159"] ahh okay. thanks a bunch blueiron. wow, that really took alot of juggling to get it around my skull. so it doesnt matter which sensor (full or cropped) the lens goes on, the focal length stays the same....its the surface area at the same distance that changes. So in order for a cropped sensor to capture the same surface area as a full sensor, the distance from the subject has to be lengthened which would result in the smaller sensor loosing focal length!......shit! so would that mean, if a 35mm is used on a small sensor, the standing distance from the subject would be the same as a 50mm on a full frame......but the image will still be cropped? so does that also mean, that a lens made for a small sensor, would have a cropped image on a full frame? ie the 50mm f/1.4D :P which lens to get then, hmmmm. dont why I'm pondering coz i've already bought the 50mm [/QUOTE]
