Leica is calling their "normal' a 70 which makes you think the sensor is that big; it ain't. You cant blame them for NOT coming out with a 55mm lens and calling it a normal nobody would think it was medium format. Yet it really is. The problem is what we think a 35mm full frame or film is is not. Its not 50. Its really 43. And 55 really is a full jump up from 43. But 55 from 50 is negligible. I just say that because 30 is way wider than a 70. Which makes you think its super wide. But 30 is so than from a 55. Perhaps someone can do a comparative angle of view to see how that compares to what we are familiar with in 35mm photography. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Gerry Walden <gwpics at me.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:27:40 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] New S lens > > This has just been posted on the BJP site: > > http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/2120595/leica-un > veils-30mm-lens-syte > > Gerry > > Gerry Walden LRPS > +44 (0)23 8046 3076 (Office) > +44 (0)797 287 7932 (Mobile) > Web: www.gwpics.com > Blog: www.gerrywalden.wordpress.com > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
