Isn't that what's refered to as a "standard" lens? Yes. That too. ---- Paul J. Gans I dimly recall the term "prime lens" as being the lens whose focal length was equal (at least roughly) to the diagonal of the film frame. That made a 50mm (or 45mm) lens "prime" for 35mm film. A 135mm lens was then a "telephoto" and a 35mm lens was a "wideangle". Zoom hadn't been invented yet. By the way I find acronyms very hard to remember (VHR). I much prefer a pronoucible name. Most acronym users seem to as well, since they often make the acronym pronouncible. ---- Paul J. Gans |
