Re: 50mm "Normal" Lens... Ok, but "Normal" on FF or APS-C Sensor?

In reply to REShultz, 6 months ago

In the old days, 35mm (FF) film cameras often came with 50mm lenses, and this became the 'norm' I guess. But it really depends on what you like and what you shoot I think. I used a 50mm a lot mack then, but that was what I had
