[Leica] How did 50mm become the "normal" lens for 35mm cameras?

[John McMaster]

I thought Fujis were APS-C, so 1.5x hence ~52mm....

I am using the 35mm f2 Fuji on the XE-2 and X-Pro 1 which is about 45.5 equivalent (taking 1.3 as the equivalence ratio). I was "sold" the 35 as a "sort of equivalent" to a 50mm f2. It works great too.

Still wish I could find an adaptor (to M) for my f1.4 50mm MC-Rokkor, a truly wonderful lens, if bulky.
