也论50mm

1. We are talking about 50mm lens for 35mm SLR cameras.

2. The technical spec defines the distance from the lens mount to the film/sensor to be about 40mm, leaving enough clearance for the reflex mirror.

3. As a result, the distance from the lens to the sensor/film is about 50mm. Which means 50mm will be the easiest lens to make (smallest size).

If the lens has a longer focal length, it of course must be bigger/longer.

But if the lens has a shorter focal length, it will be shorter than the distance from the lens mount to the sensor, thus the designers of the lens have to do some tricks to place the lens farther away than its focal length, resulting in a bigger lens.

4. Conclusion: 50mm lens is the cheapest to make, thus included as the "standard" lens in the old days.

5. So using 50mm lens is because:

A. Cheaper
B. Small size, so that it is most convenient to carry around.
C. Not because it is special in other aspects (say, providing the best field of view in photography).

6. For mirrorless camera, the lens mount can be placed closer to the sensor/film, thus resulting in a shorter focal length lens as the most natural lens.

7. The above is from my own analyses. If some one already came up with the same analyses, it is totally coincidental.

不同意。flange是固定的。镜头,焦距越长镜头越长,光圈越大镜头越粗。反之亦然 -WayCool- 给 WayCool 发送悄悄话 WayCool 的博客首页 (33 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 13:09:11

手里正把玩UPS刚送到的20mm/f2.8。跟我的5014一样长,不过更粗重。 -U96- 给 U96 发送悄悄话 U96 的博客首页 (56 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 13:12:49

Let's compare 35mm f/1.4 (I do not think Canon has 28 f/1.4) and -pieq314- 给 pieq314 发送悄悄话 pieq314 的博客首页 (75 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 13:18:31

怎么说吧。小于50mm的镜头长度不是个因素,你的理论还是不能成立 -WayCool- 给 WayCool 发送悄悄话 WayCool 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 13:51:43

对我来说定焦镜头还有一个非常重要的特性就是大光圈。 -schatten- 给 schatten 发送悄悄话 schatten 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 13:14:55

That is the only reason for me: larger aperture. -pieq314- 给 pieq314 发送悄悄话 pieq314 的博客首页 (131 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 13:21:15

我在大大仙那楼里就说过,用50mm就因为它最便宜。哈哈 -用户名被占用了- 给 用户名被占用了 发送悄悄话 用户名被占用了 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 03/05/2012 postreply 18:38:41
