Note: Picture angle approx. 1.5x lens focal length
Lens’ angle of view does not change; lens’ perspective and reproduction ratio at a
given distance and aperture is identical to when the lens is used on a 35mm SLR; the
difference in viewing is a result of the smaller dimensions of the CCD compared to
that of 35mm film. In effect, the image is cropped according to the CCD format.
Compatible — Incompatible
