40mm will always be 40mm on any given camera, but a 40mm lens on a Full Frame camera is not the same as a 40mm lens on an APS-C camera.

40mm on FF is 40mm.

40mm on APS-C is actually 60-65mm.

No, it is still 40mm with some of the full frame edges cut out.

40mm on APC has the field of view as 64mm on full frame camera.
