Hi
Maya's cameras clearly have a defined Focal Length Tab.
Where in Soft is this because sitting with the Driector yesterday soft
really did it self no favours, I was telling him how it a great app is but
he now not having any of it.
On the camera prop's menu there is the Focal Length but its
Camera Focal Length is always in mm. It's a global standard.
Just check the Enable box and set the Film Aperture to something realistic,
for example I always use the aperture of the Arri Alexa camera (23.76/25.4
= 0.9354 inches).
After that you could just set the lens with the Focal Length.
/Jens
I would think because mm is the standard in focal lengths.
Lenses' focallengths and also sensor sizes - which also play a role in how
much the camera sees - are always given in mm.

I may be missing your point here, but afaik focal length is expressed in mm

If you set the proper settings for the backplane, the focal length lens
settings are as they are.
There's no 'equate in soft' setting for lenses, all 3D apps follow real
world mechanics.
