Let´s say you got a 20 x 30 cm photo in your hands, you will probably watch it at 30 - 40 cm. But if the photo is 2 x 3 m, you will see it from 3 - 4 m. That´s the "normal angle" of vision. And from that you get the "normal lens". "Normal lens" is not the right name for it. It should be "common lens". Because honestly, you may or you may not prefer this angle of vision.

Well done on an informative article that was remarkably accurate regarding visual perception and physiology. I’m an eye doctor and a photography hobbyist.

It is quite a pleasure to read them. I enjoyed this one too. I was surprised with the 130 million pixel resolution. I’ve been greedily consuming your articles on this blog.

Thanks for taking the time to write all these. I really enjoyed this post, its exactly the kind of thing I love to ponder over. Your technical articles are great as well... I've been checking mtf charts for all my lenses, and tossing out my cheap filters. Thanks again,. I have been reading a lot of your blog posts this evening.
