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

[Bitter Jeweler]

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who find the answers to their questions, and those who ask others to find the answers to their questions. Those that find their own answers learn much more in the process, the others are just standing on the shoulders of giants.

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.

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.

Well I mean, whos being E-tougher now? Its like a paradox and never ending cycle of E-thug. You're trying to taunt someone who called you a queen because of your internet behavior, in which you return with calling him a name, and challenging him.
You're out E-toughing an E-tougher while slandering E-toughers.....MindBlown. E-THUG INCEPTION.
I need to read TPF more often, some of this stuff is funnier than 4chan.

I don't like how you worded that. Generally I don't think anyone would ever ask someone to "go find the answer for me". If a person knows the answer to a question he'll answer. If he doesnt he will simply say "i dont know" and they both move on. This is how the world works. Here on TPF though... god forbid if someone asks a question. If you don't know the answer to respond immediately then hit the back button. Don't research the question on your own and then come back to ***** about you having to waste your time in searching and writing a "novel" in response. Just hit the back button!

Pro Tip #1735: Be the Giant.



Sabrina, would you like me to bring up the color space thread that you asked to have condensed because you didn't have time to read it all? Remember that? That's standing on the shoulders of giants.

...standing on the shoulders of giants.

A great quote...but generally taken in a completely different way to which it was intended.

Apparently when Newton said to Hooke "I am where I am today by standing on the Shoulders of Giants" he was countering accusations of plagiarism from Hooke. The comment was in fact a big dig at Hooke, who was a very short man, compared to Newtons large stature...Newton wasn't bigging himself up, he was effectively "putting down" the little guy.

So did we ever get the OP an answer?

Shoot well, Joe

yes, in the first page. However, OP is more interested in the other 6 pages.

Right, so since an answer has apparently been given, this thread can best be considered "done". You've had time enough to have your fun with it. Now off to bed (or so... I've got up again).
