Originally posted by pepperberry farm you know, the entire equivalency conversation gets really intense on the Fuji boards and I've never understood why...
I don't spend much time on the fuji boards it never hooked me the way this place did, hence i keep returning here despite owning only a few old taks and even less k mount lenses (and 1 ME super someone gave me)
Originally posted by normhead That's so 10 years ago on this board. So may have APS-c, FF, 1:2.3 (Q) and 645, the BSers who haven't got a clue and only read the numbers get shot down real quick. As I said 10 years ago when this was raging here, there's nothing you need to know about equivalence you can't figure out by looking through the viewfinder.
pretty much but i can see hating a 50 on one sensor size and loving it on another , it was never my favouite on 35mm but i love it on medium format (any medium format film or digital) and on apsc it is a handy cheap portrait lens

it's a 50mm lens... period...
true but the aov varies due to the crop so what you hate in a 50 on one format you may love on another (I love the GF50, but I also loved my Bronica ETR with it's 50 ... always been a wide normal to wide angle guy for the most part
