On 5D, 50mm images are magnifying than normal view( eye view).
since 50mm considered as normal lens.....what is this phenomenon?
thank u all.

Viggo said:I always heard that 50mm is the same as looking with your eyes, aka, moving the eye in and out of the VF makes for the same mag ratio, but it isn't, it's much closer to 75-85mm, I've never heard anyone explain why this is. Also read somewhere that the ACTUAL focal is closer to 43mm, which makes no sense to me.

Viggo said:A FOV of the eye is 180 degrees, no? At least I can see 180, so it can't be that a fov of a 50 is equal to the human eye, it must be the mag ratio. And doesn't this have something to do with how the VF itself is constructed? how great coverage etc?

I didn't miss that...
