Originally posted by GUB OK did that - now two questions -
Why did you set the kit to 32mm focal length when presumably you were using the same format(camera) for both lenses?
And why is the kit lens at f8 and f9 ?
yea, I thought I had set the kit lens to F5.6, I should probabaly reshoot it then.... The first time I shot it, I did have it all at F5.6, but the camera must have changed this on my reshoots without my knowing...
As far as the 32mm is, I was trying to get the same size image for both. Scientifically, I'm sure I should have shot the kti lens at 50mm, but when I did, it was far off.
For fun, I'll come back later and make sure all is at F5.6, including the M lens, and shoot at 50mm with kit lens - but for some reason the kit lens at 50mm shows much different surface area...
Thanks!

Addendum: I quickly shot both at F5.6, ISO 800, set the kit lens to 50mm on the lens, used a tripod. Hopefully I didn't miss something again, if so do tell. Oh, I put the kit lens as close as I could at 50mm and turns out I nailed it - apparently the camera recorded this, but I don't see anywhere on the screen or viewfinder where it tells the mm when taking the photo (someone educate me & I started a thread asking about this at
