Re: Eclair ACL Nikon 35d to 40 =70 to 140 in 16mm

[Robert Morein <rho@netreach.net>]

Operator error.
15mm = 15mm regardless of format.
32mm = 32mm regardless of format.

However, 32mm on 35mm film has roughly the coverage of a 16mm lens on 16mm film.
Perhaps this fact is the source of confusion.

 Larry, I don't know the optical formula lingo. I tried the 15mm Nikor on a wall in Tahiti, marked it, then tried a 16mm cooke zoom and the corner marks lined up at 32mm on the Cooke.  Mercer

   mercer, 
   can you explain how the focal lengths of nikon 35mm lenses double? is this specific to any 35mm lens you want to use on a 16mm camera? If that is so, getting wide angle lenses seems really tough.
