I'm not sure what you're saying, Ryan. If you're using a 16x24mm sensor and fit a 35mm lens, you get the same field of view as you do with a 50mm lens fitted on a 24x36mm film body. That implies the same perspectives as well, since perspective is a function of distance. A 31mm lens is a little wider than that film 'normal' but is still within the range of normal. What about the 31mm focal length doesn't look "normal" to you on your *ist D? Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
