I'm sure this doesn't apply to Savageduck, but a lot of Americans don't get that a lens quoted as 5 cm could also be quoted as 0.05m or 50mm and that it all means the same thing.

I am familiar with the metric system. My initial post in this thread was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I was under the impression this thread was based in humor and as "No One" identified the actual "deliberate mistake", I threw the "5cm" into the mix. I probably should have just let things be. OH well! :-) -- Regards, Savageduck
