Depth of Field in Photography

Question

A 50mm focal length lens sees the world the same as a person with 20/20 vision in terms of depth of field and linear perspective.

Answer 1

Hi Marisa,

A 50 mm lens is typically has a depth of field that is close to a 46-degree angle of view, a normal 20/20 eye views about 120 degrees in the angle of view. The real ability of 55 mm lens is to really capture in detail the subject that is in front of you and in other terms its probably the best lense for portraits.
