naath made the mistake of sitting still shortly after I got a new lens.

I'm not sure what's gone wrong with the CCD width value there...

Wicked userpic :)

That's a lovely crisp photo too. Jealous now :)

It's the new lens, in fact.

Yay! for new toys :)

I'd guess that it assumed that you cropped the photoas opposed to resizing the entire image. That would also explain why you had a silly 35mm equivalent focal length.

That'll be another bug in “Digital Photo Professional” then. It has an annoying habit of losing its tool palette too. Maybe I should see if the Windows version works better...

I'm not entirely convinced by the 35mm equivalent value either, which would put you at a guess several metres above the car parking area…. But I guess it's calculating that off the CCD width.

Yes, the "equivalent focal length" is calculated from the sensor size and real focal length. It's a misnomer anyway - for anything except the angle of view the real focal length is the one that matters.

I just heart heart heart that lens - I'm on my second one, the first not having survived a fall down some stairs...
