Okay, Very shortly I am buying what is considered to be a "prime" lens. By Prime I am talking about a single focal length lens that is of "normal" perspective. What I am attempting to figure out is, what is considered normal perspective?
I know normal perspective is considered to be what a person sees through their eyes. I have heard this equated to 50mm. I also know that with digital camera's there is a cropping factor that comes into play (maybe the correct term is focal length multiplier instead)
For my D50 I know that the foacal length multiplier is 1.5.
Therefore if I purchase a 50mm Nikkor lens and put it on my d50 does it in essence become a 75mm lens? If so should I really be considering a 34 or 33mm (based upon calculations) lens in order to come out with a 50mm focal length after the multiplier is taken into effect?
Thanks
