Re: How to convert focal lengths for different sensor formats?

In reply to Fraxav, 7 months ago

Focal length is a physical property of the lens, it doesn't depend on the camera body or sensor size. A 50mm lens is a 50mm lens, and the 50mm setting on a zoom gives the same field of view as a 50mm prime lens.
