I have a full frame Canon 6D with a 24-105mm lens. This should provide a ‘standard’ view at around the 50mm mark. However, at first it seemed like I was getting this at the 70mm mark. I started thinking this may be due to the viewfinder not being 100%. With some practice and repeated shots I realised that the 50mm focal length was indeed the ‘standard’ focal length.
This is the 35mm view. As I knew this was wider than the ‘standard’ focal length, I wasn’t expecting this to look the same through the viewfinder as with the unaided eye.
This is the 50mm view. At first I wasn’t sure if this did indeed look the same through the viewfinder as with the unaided eye. After several practice shots and repetition, I convinced myself that it looked around the same.
This is the 70mm view. This isn’t too different to the 50mm view, however it is more constrained.
