I figured a 35mm lens could make an image the size of the diagonal of a 35mm
frame of film (which works out to 43.26mm) as its maximum dimension, so that
a sqaure with the same diagonal could be covered by an image from the same
lens. a square with a diagonal measure of 43.26mm would have a side about
30.6mm long. I think <lol>
