"That?s just 5mm more than a 35mm format standard" you'd say. But a normal is not really a normal in 35mm full frame photography It's not 50mm its 43.3mm the diagonal of 24x36 do the math! -- Mark William Rabiner Photographer ?On 2/7/20, 9:51 AM, "Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: Well if a medium format 60x60mm camera has an 80mm lens on it that lens is not a telephoto lens like it is on a 35mm camera. Its a standard normal for medium format film square! No cropping comes into play. (The diagonal of 60x60mm is pretty close to 80mm.) Digital medium formats are a tad smaller than film medium formats cameras so they cost less than a million dollars. And more people buy them. But with this gorgeous to die for GFX100 I am overwhelmed by the idea of shooting with over a hundred megepixies! But maybe I should really be overwhelmed by the fact that it's made with physically way bigger sized medium format sensor? (33 ? 44mm) A combination of both would be the smart opinion. I'd both be right! Costing only $9,999.00 here in New York! And you though you'd have to spend ten grand for a medium format digital camera!? -- Mark William Rabiner ?On 2/7/20, 8:06 AM, "LUG on behalf of Philippe via LUG" <lug-bounces+mark=rabinergroup.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: Would you call use of the GFX100 enlarging ? ;-) http://www.dpreview.com/search/?query=GFX100&terms=GFX100 <http://www.dpreview.com/search/?query=GFX100&terms=GFX100> Amities Philippe > Le 7 f?vr. 2020 ? 14:02, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> a ?crit : > > I don?t know Frank an APS-C sensor gets called a cropped sensor. > As you think you have new longer lens bringing you in closer but all you're doing is cropping. > > _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
