35 mm lens: focal length
Hi, I have a bit of a n00b question.
I have a Carl Zeiss Jena lens on my camera and I'd like to know the focal length of the lens. I'm not familiar with the notation: 2.8/50. Enlighten me? Thanks a lot, Aleksiina |

I'm not familiar with the notation: 2.8/50. Enlighten me? It appears the focal length is 50mm, what is commonly refered to as a normal lens which is in between a wide angle and a short telephoto. The 2.8 is probably the aperture # - that is the size of the opening that lets in the light. |
