translate zoom numbers to focal length
has anyone tried to translate the numeric zoom values into estimations of focal length? Obviously zero is 5.4 and 100 is 108.
- but does that mean 50 on the scale is approx 55mm? Is the progression linear? Last edited by Doug Bennett; July 2nd, 2009 at 05:12 PM. |

For what it's worth, the progression is curvilinear (not rectilinear).
