Thought for the day: Yet a Third Way of Comparing Lens Focal Lengths
Two weeks ago we considered if 2mm makes a difference in lens focal length. Here is another way.
Let’s compare different lenses with a subject 50’ away. Why 50’? Because where I live the property line for houses are 50’ apart. This means that you get use to seeing the size of a person or car 50 foot away from you
Lens – Image as if you were:
50mm – 50’ away
100mm – 25’ away
200mm – 12.5’ away
1000mm – 5’ away
Longer lenses don’t seem to gain much in this case. You could just take a few steps forward. On the other hand maybe you can’t move from where you are.

And in the other direction:
Lens – Image as if you were:
50mm – 50’ away
24mm – 100’ away
10mm – 500’ away
Might be more work to walk backwards 450’ compared to changing lenses.
