Focal length is focal length, but for purposes of the rule of thumb, it's being used as a proxy for angular field of view. If 1/focal length is a good rule of thumb for 35mm, then it's the wrong rule of thumb for any other format. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
