ACalculating Picture Angle

The size of the area exposed by a 35mm camera is 36 × 24 mm. The size of the area exposed by the D300S, in contrast, is approximately

23.6× 15.8 mm, meaning that the diagonal picture angle of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 times that of the D300S. To calculate the focal length of lenses for the D300S in 35mm format, multiply the focal length of the lens by 1.5 (for example, the effective focal length of a 24mm lens in 35mm format would be 36 mm when mounted on the D300S).
