          You can also type the FOV in mm in the VCB, so no conversion is needed. πŸ˜‰

              You know you can just type 50mm in the VCB when you have the Zoom tool active in order to set the focal length?

              Nice chart by the way. Good find!

                    To revert back to degrees type "50deg"

                      Hmm - the FOV for a camera depends on two things: lens length and sensor width. This chart corresponds to Canon cameras - which have their own specific sensor sizes. Does it say if it's APS-C or full frame sensor? Does the SU lens length assume 35mm film?

                        AFIK - yes. For matching photos from digital cameras (without using PhotoMatch) I've been using conversion tables that convert the digital lens to 35mm and that seem to work.

                        But note that SU might some times work on the vertical size instead of the horizontal or diagonal size - and it's pretty much impossible to tell.
