Andrew,

For MF it goes the other way. It would be better to think about lenses in
terms of there angular field of view. Some Tamrons have it on the barrel
with all the other info.
It is useful to compare to a known format, since 35mm is the most common it
is chosen as the reference point. An 80mm in MF is considered 'standard' and
has a field of view that is similar to a 50mm in 35mm (or so I have always
been told).

Anyone on list got a Praktisix, Pentacon 6 or Kiev 6/60?
Anyway the Tamron fans don't get to talk about 'heavy' lenses until 
they've lifted a Zeiss Olympia Sonnar 180/2.8 (strewth!).
And even if you don't - does a medium format 180mm translate to a 
longer focal length on 35mm? (Like the 35mm lenses 'stretch' on an E1 
or 10D)
