Interesting article at B & H re: angle of view, crop factors, etc.

noblepa · 06-23-2009, 01:30 PM

I just got an e-mail advertising flyer from B & H. They have a nice article that explains angle of view, crop factors and how this all relates to sensor size.

Since this subject comes up on this forum with some regularity, I thought a link might be useful.

Angles-of-View | B&H Photo Video Pro Audio

There's even a handy little chart that put it all together rather well.

This is my oasis of sanity. I go out to walk the dogs and the rest of the time I'm at mother and baby's beck and call.
Not only that, you rowdy lot can't be trusted on your own for too long.

If this is your "Oasis of sanity" you are in some serious trouble...

Oasis of insanity, maybe!

Thanks for the article reference! This is one of the best explanations of the current sensor situation that I have read.
