The 35mm mamiya : lens is the equivalent of a 16mm lens for 35mm format. : With the 1.5 ratio, that would be a 24mm lens on the : d200? Out and out, the lens IS a fisheye, or at least : close to one. The same math would make the 80mm : mamiya lens a 56mm lens on the d200, still a normal : lens, not a tele. Other than auto features, i'm : wondering if i'm losing anything. I do like my mamiya : glass and have invested some cash into it. ANDY?! : best to look here: http://photoweasel.diaryland.com/magratio.html
