[edit] A question

In all my years of photography, I always thought that the 50mm lens, aka the "natural prime" was closest to he human eye for a full frame 35 mm camera (not a cropped digital SLR). I don't know why Blender has 35 mm as a default but it can't be to the human vision and a 35 mm camera at the same time. --iaminnocent 23:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree that I like pictures taken with the 50, and have my default camera set to 50. As soon as I get the basic camera kit, my first lens is like a 28-135 macro zoom, and the 35 basically stays in the case as a backup. The Blender 35 default goes back decades and is probably just because of convention that the 35mm SLR is the most popular lens out there. Even though, technically, I am told that a Blender 35 Lens does not produce a physically accurate 35mm SLR Lens, but hey, it's close enough in my book. I should note (and will edit) that the field of view of the human eye is almost a fish-eye (hold your fingers out to the side at arms length and you will see that your field of view is darn near 170 degrees, it's just that we process core (vs peripheral) vision in a central region. --Roger 14:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
