here is a table from the Cambridge Eclipse Photography Guide which
gives the size of the sun's or moon's disk in millimetres according to
the focal length used on a 35mm camera:

Focal     Image
Length    Size

28        0.25
50        0.45
100       0.91
200       1.8
300       2.7
400       3.6
500       4.5
600       5.4
1000      9.1
2000     18.2

bearing in mind that 135 film is 24x36mm, even with a 2000mm lens you
only fill 3/4 of the frame.

All the same, people have been showing some very good photos of it.
