Thanks Bill. Good to know.

The aspect ratio of these things is right in between the 35mm full frame format and the old panoramic format that was put onto cameras like the Pentax MZ-5, 35mm is 2:3, cell phones are slightly over 1:2 at 19:9 (at least mine is), the old panoramic format was just over 1:3 at 13:36.

I was surprised to learn that the “telephoto” lens on the best Apple and

Not quite correct, at least on my Galaxy Note 10. The phone has 3 cameras, the 
wide angle is quite wide, somewhere between 24 and 28mm equivalent on a 35mm 
format, the standard is pretty close to 40mm equivalent, the telephoto is 
closer to 70mm than 50mm equivalent.
I checked this by comparing the live view on the K1 to the phone screen.
Something to remember is that the phone is a much wider aspect ratio. The Note 
10 is 19:9 compared to the 2:3 aspect ratio of 35mm.
I did my Q&D comparison by looking at the top to bottom coverage rather than 
side to side coverage.
