Picture Angle and Focal Length
The size of the area exposed by a 35-mm camera is
36 × 24 mm. The size of the area exposed by the D80, in
contrast, is 23.6 × 15.8, meaning that the picture angle of
a 35-mm camera is approximately 1.5 times that of the
D80. The approximate focal length of lenses for the D80
in 35-mm format can be calculated by multiplying the
focal length of the lens by about 1.5.
