I suppose that it may be an interesting exercise for some. But really, after years and years of using a camera and the experience of looking through different focal length lenses, doesn't one sort of have a good approximate idea of what they're going to capture? The variability in shooting circumstances alone, proximity to subject, etc., makes the actual AOV number a little moot. I never think, 'you know lens A has an angle of view of X-degress, I think I'll use that one'.
But if the actual number is important, OK. :-) Tom C. >From: Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> >To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: AOVCalculator >Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:06:44 -0700 > >That's nice if you already own a particular focal length. >Sometimes, however, one might want to have an idea of FoV numerically >for other purposes. > >Godfrey > >On Aug 31, 2007, at 8:25 AM, Tom C wrote: > > > I simply look through the viewfinder with the desired lens on the > > camera.
