[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 672256, member: 16749"] A 50mm lens is considered a “[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_lens"]normal lens[/URL]” on a standard 35mm film camera or a [i]”full-frame”[/i] or [i]“FX”[/i] digital camera, though it's actually a bit long, about 43 mm would be more correct.* A normal lens is one which gives a field of view comparable to that of the human eye. Your D5200 has a sensor that is smaller than that of a full 35mm frame, and so, to get the same field of view, you need, proportionally, a shorter lens. This is the [i]“crop factor”[/i] of which you've surely heard, often given as about 1.5, though 1.55 is more accurate. Your 50mm lens, on your D5200, gives about the same field of view than a {50 1.55 ×} 77.5mm lens would give on a 35mm film camera. To get the equivalent on your D5200 of a 50mm lens mounted on a 35mm film camera, what you really wants is a {50 155 ÷} 32mm lens. 35 is close enough. [/QUOTE]
