Lots of people use the old 28mm, 35mm and 50mm lenses plus the
50mm and 100mm Macro lenses.

Various zooms such as 75-150mm and 70-210mm are also popular.

I prefer miles and MPG as well..... The odd thing is that in the UK we have to convert one or the other to get fuel consumption either Litres to Gallons or Miles to Kilometres

Handy conversion site for lens focal lengths + Km/miles etc.

Looks very tranquil ..... I've never been to
that area only the city centre bit and never further
than the riverside pubs. Time I ventured further.

I wouldn't blame the 55-300mm...... the nest is too well hidden

All excellent and not an easy environment for long exposures.

Who said the K-3 was no good for poor light

The Kodak Professional Photoguide (1975) has a very nice colour illustration showing angle of view equivalents for.....
8x10 inch
5x7 inch
4x5 inch
6x8 cm
6x7 cm
6x6 cm
35 mm

From that you can see that the equiv. of a 28mm (on 35mm) on 10"x8" is 200mm etc.

It also has rotating DOF calculators for all of the above.

As long as they don't start quoting what the equivalent
lens is on an iPHONE I'm quite happy with the 35mm equivalent

I still convert degC to degF

Strange that when the weather gets hot the papers, TV and radio
start quoting the temperatures in degF
