What does mm mean on lenses. What is it actually measuring

[fokker]

I stopped talking at page 3?

Maybe no one can tell because they stopped listening to you.

there is no maybe its the truth. They just call me troll and continue to fill my threads with their useless banter and smartass comments. I do appreciate the few who actually are discussing the question instead of bitching for 2 pages instead of just leaving.

Get over it you queen. You asked a dumb question (again) and got some responses that you didn't like but instead of stopping to think about why this is you've just chosen to ignore rational arguments because you think we're being mean to you. The result is that you will probably do this again in another 2 days time, because you've learned nothing about why your threads always end up like this.

I'm in the camp of "There are no dumb questions".





However, asking a question such as this one, on an open international forum is kinda dumb instead of doing searches beforehand.

I'm usually in the same camp, because it's normally newbies to the forum that ask these sorts of questions, in which case we cut them some slack. This guy has been here long enough to know better, especially since he has been the centre of so much drama that you'd think he would pull his head in by now. Hence troll queen.

You obviously have not spent enough time in customer service :er:

Well, at least our dastardly plan to turn him into a pedo worked.

Instead of complaining about your question, I'll refer you to this helpful diagram: Focal Length: Optical: Glossary: Learn: Digital Photography Review

(this forum sure is good at complaining though!)

Cool thanks. I know its an random question but It was just bugging me.

Yes indeed, it must have been bugging you, since you enlisted the help of this forum.

Boy, that was hard.

If you couldn't find that information then good luck understanding it

True, through top notch hyperlinkage, Fokker proves that the most simple of internet searches, that there is a plethora of information out there pertaining to focal length in the rawest form.

Boy, that was hard.

If you couldn't find that information then good luck understanding it

You know the time you spent coming here being a smartass you could have answered the question by now. It shows what type of person you really are.

And this is where you went wrong, because the acceptance of the hyperlink that analog.universe as a valid explanation for your query thus proves that you do not have the required mental capacity to render a google search for the topic at hand.

At least that's what I gathered from the first 8 posts. I'll continue to read on though just in case your argument gains some kind of ground through the shifting of actual tectonic plates in the earth crust. Because honestly, I don't see you coming out of this one.

edit:

<puts serious hat on for a moment>

<removes serious hat due to poor fit and extreme heat buildup>

I found this so funny.

God the poor guy can't even ask a question anymore!

No.

God the poor guy can't even ask a question anymore!

The problem is he asked a question that has likely been asked and answered thousands of times before in the interwebs.
A google search would have given him the correct answer in any language he wanted faster than posting it in a beginners section of a photo forum.

Very few people have unique problems or questions.

RTFM*, then JFGI**, then ask for clarification on what you don't understand.

Failing to do even the smallest amount of research on your own is just lazy and will dictate how far you get in anything - not far at all.

* read the f'ing manual
** just f'ing google it

So my question was not that simple at all.

That was kinda my point. Nobody wants to sit here typing a novel about a complicated subject when it has been written about already by people who actually know what they're talking about. By posting your 'simple' question you've effectively just asked someone to google your own question for you and spoon feed the answer to you like the baby you are, and you've managed to create another 5-page greasy horror show in the process. Congratulations, troll.

Google is for research. Forums are for discussion.

You cannot have intelligent discussion without research.

Therefore, your path to learning is:

• Google it
• Read about it
• Discuss it

There is a world of difference between being self-taught and expecting others to teach you.

Yeah Kburrito, you got told where the bear shits in the buckwheat. I guess that's life though.

All of this could've been avoided by just saying, 'thank you for directing me to the correct information.' Being a meany gets people no where, and cussing pushes you to the end of the line! Smile, it's hump day!!

I'll continue to read on though just in case your argument gains some kind of ground through the shifting of actual tectonic plates in the earth crust. Because honestly, I don't see you coming out of this one.

Indeed. Pure gold, o hey tyler. You could be a Vegas oddsmaker!!! Anyway, I was perusing some funnies on the GQ web site after having scanned the new Mila Kunis pictorial shot by super-pervy fashion photographer Terry Richardson, and found this pic in a story detailing the 40 worst-dressed cities in the USA ,and I thought fondly of you...for some odd reason, I was thinking you were from Vermont, like this guy is...

But then I realized you're from that OTHER desolate, sparsely-populated, frozen most of the year NE state, Maine!!!

because there are always dicks like you who like to cause trouble. I would love to see you call me a queen in real life. Hide behind your computer tough guy.

That's it!

Keep it going!


Good job!

"mm" on the lens really means "minnie mouse" or is it "micky mouse" or "mighty mouse" or "mother mucker". choose which one you like, they are all correct. so lets close this thread and C&C the photo I posted. Or, will someone post a photo of a dead cat ran over by a bulldozer for C&C? that would be a lot more interesting that this one.

Looks like it was probably a car... But check out this awesome toy!

Why is it so bad to ask a question??? Could kbarredo have searched google for the answer? Yeah but does it really make a difference? People ask questions because they just wanna learn and maybe have a discussion about it. If you don't like the questions then hit the damn back button. There's no need to carry on, cry and whine because of your exaggerations on you thinking you have to write a "novel" in response, or "spoon feed" someone the answers. Dramatic much? You are in the beginners section bitching and insulting a person that asked a question because they just want to learn. Who's the troll again??
