A 50mm lens is a 50mm lens, period. What is different is the image sensor is smaller than a 35mm negative, so th standard lens will be shorter, just as when you go up to a 4x5 inch neg the normal lens would be longer. What is considered an normal lens is relative to film size. With a very small sensor the standard lens may be 10mm, with a larger sensor it may be 18mm.

Lead-free solder is nuts. I WILL NOT use it. Lead was originally introduced into tin solder precisely to solve these problems. Graham

Indeed. A pic of an f3.5 24mm lens. Graham

I know that finding a fundamental change from what I was expecting can take me "outside my comfort zone" pretty fast. Add to this the fact that Phildo was trying to work with somebody else's board set up which may not have suited his way of working and I can see why he didn't like it. To Phildo I'd say "don't give up on the LS9 just yet". I've mixed on one quite a few times and, provided I can set it up to MY tastes it's quite a nice little mixer that I enjoy using. Bob |
