It is difficult to answer this question as the human eye is backed up by the powerful image processing provided by your brain. Your peripheral vision extends out almost 170° so in one way your eye is almost fisheye like, but the brain can vary the angle that it pays attention to dynamically

Never really gave it much thought but just off the top of my head I'd say MY eye has about a 80-90 degree field of view ... I don't know what that would equate to in focal length. Our eye aperture varies greatly ... We can open up to probably 1.0 and stop down to 1/32 or more and since our eyes

I remember reading an article about this, probably Keppler on the SLR in either Popular or Modern Photography... The normal lens for 35mm, the one that gives the perspective most like the human eye is equal to the diagonal of the 24mm x 36mm frame, which is 43mm. However, in the early 35mm

Must be why I like shooting with a 24mm lens so much. Back in my FD days, my 24mm f/2.8 SSC spent a LOT of time on my camera! Somehow, I've never been quite as happy with my 20-35mm f/2.8 L lens. Maybe I need to tape it at the 24mm mark. Mr. Bill
