In 35mm small format, the diagonal of the 24mm x 36mm frame is 43mm. This makes the 40mm lens is _closer_ to the heuristic definition than what is accepted as the standard lens for 35mm small format, the 50mm. I agree. I shoot alot with a 35 SP Rangefinder. It has a 7 element 42mm 1.7 lens and produces beautiful photos. The proportion is more true than 50mm. I had a 40mm Zuiko for OM and like an idiot sold it about 10 years ago. Oh well, 20/20 hindsight |
