As its a true wide with elements going right back to the focal plane. For the SLR's you'd need a 40 which was the widest rectilinear they made. The 30 was a fisheye. http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/hasselblad/lenses/Hasse l_lenses.htm or http://tinyurl.com/3q8wsl9 -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: John McMaster <john at mcmaster.co.nz> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:22:45 +0000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] New S lens > > Also lens design, Canon have/had a 15mm FF fisheye but a 14mm wide likewise > Nikon with 16mm FF fisheye but 13mm and 15mm wides > > john > ________________________________________ > > > I know, and that is for 56mm x 56mm rather than 45mm x 30mm > > john > ________________________________________ > > > Because on an old Hasselblad 30 is not even wide its a fisheye. > > -- > Mark R. > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > > > >> >> 30mm S is roughly equivalent to 24mm FF >> http://www.s.leica-camera.com/leica-elmarit-s-30-mm-f-2-8-asph >> >> 35mm S > 28mm FF >> >> 70mm S > 56mm FF >> >> 120mm S > 96mm FF >> >> 180mm S > 144mm FF >> >> I think I read that it will be a zoom next and then more long lenses. >> >> All academic of course ;-) >> >> john >> ________________________________________ >> >> >> I just say that because 30 is way wider than a 70.
