FOV Tables: Field-of-view of lenses by focal length
Keywords: lens, basics, guides, tips, nikon, nikkor, sensor, format, fx, dx, cx, focal_length, fov, field_of_view
Field-of-view (also known as FOV)
The values for Field of View (FOV) come up frequently enough at the forums that I thought a list might be helpful for quick reference.
Remember that focal length is stated for infinity and most lenses decrease in focal length as you focus closer.
