[QUOTE="HaydenB, post: 207255, member: 16711"] WayneF, I understand "being in the ball park" but I was looking for a technically correct answer. :-) And the 50mm lens as a "normal" lens for the 35mm was always confusing as different manufactures used 49, 50, 52 and 55mm as their "normal" lenses. I was told way back when that the difference was dependent on the actual distance of the back lens glass to the surface of the film. It seems Nikon and others do not advertize anymore what they consider is a "normal" lens with the various cameras. And I think the definition of "normal" has changed from what you actually see compare to what the camera sees to the "normal" lens that comes with the camera, or also known as the "kit" lens. The 50mm lens was the "kit" lens of it's time with the 35mm cameras. [/QUOTE]
