Common Lens Angles of View
This table shows the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical angles of view, in degrees, for lenses producing rectilinear images, when used with 36 mm × 24 mm format (that is, 135 film or full-frame 35mm digital using width 36 mm, height 24 mm, and diagonal 43.3 mm for d in the formula above). Digital compact cameras sometimes state the focal lengths of their lenses in 35mm equivalents, which can be used in this table.
| Focal Length (mm) | 0 | 2 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 35 | 50 | 70 | 85 | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 1200 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diagonal (°) | 180.0 | 169.4 | 122.0 | 114.2 | 107.1 | 94.5 | 84.1 | 63.4 | 46.8 | 34.4 | 28.6 | 23.3 | 12.4 | 8.25 | 6.19 | 4.96 | 4.13 | 5.72 | 3.10 | 2.07 |

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or view:
“Art and ideology often interact on each other; but the plain fact is that both spring from a common source. Both draw on human experience to explain mankind to itself; both attempt, in very different ways, to assemble coherence from seemingly unrelated phenomena; both stand guard for us against chaos.”
—Kenneth Tynan (1927–1980)
“In a period of a people’s life that bears the designation “transitional,” the task of a thinking individual, of a sincere citizen of his country, is to go forward, despite the dirt and difficulty of the path, to go forward without losing from view even for a moment those fundamental ideals on which the entire existence of the society to which he belongs is built.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
