BurgaFlippinMan said:the rule/guide only applies to 35mm format. if you are using dslr, its the 1/focal length x crop factor.
kh_drew said:hmmm, interesting question.
what about those who are shooting in medium or large format? is it (1/equivalent of 35mm focal length) ?
hehehehe...have a merry xmas!
cheers

Lens size is not an issue, focal length is. A 50mm lens on a digicam would have the same magnification on a SLR if it could be fitted, albeit with vignetting.Belle&Sebastain said:i dun like to compare against digicams cos the lens size used is not the same as SLR.
No longer possible when DSLRs and SLRs are different both in imager size and CoC. It's akin to comparing a medium format to a 35mm in this case.compare apples to apples
Agree.and the most important factor is to get your techique right, that these 'rules' can be broken as well.

Most digicams have a FOV crop factor of 4.x. So a 50mm gives a 200mm FOV. I don't think anyone gets reliable decent results at 200mm 1/50 with those cameras.

Agree.
