Unfortunately you can't vary the input for focal length in your formulas, which is the whole point to comparing different AOVs of particular focal lengths on different formats. It's complicated by the fact that different nominal focal lengths in fisheye lenses give equivalent results. Just in P

Actually I was going to have it update as you entered numbers in the focal length box, but it required a bit more exception coding than I was willing to engage in. I've already found a bug so a new version will be forthcoming, eventually. From my research there's no simple formula for fisheye

Yes. It works fine, but my on quibble is if you select the format size, then enter the focal length, pressing enter doesn't update the AOV numbers. I had to click on the 'compared to' format list (or reset the main format size), to get the values to update. Cheers, Dave. (Just out of curiosity

It might be important for understanding to see the numbers, Tom. Sometimes discussion or other activities moves in a theoretical way. If you're using several cameras with different format film, sensor, etc, you might want or need to see numerical values to visualize what different focal leng

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. I get a pretty g
