24mm to 28mm

[froddan]

Please excuse a daft question

Taking landscape photos, is there a great deal difference between a 24mm wideangle and a 28mm ditto?


Many thanks

I know someone is going to say it so it may as well be me...

About 4mm

About 4mm

Or 6.4 mm if using my camera.

5.2 for me

F'kin 1D users, like to show off everywhere they can

If an Olympus E1 user, could even be 8mm.

Mhmm...eh, thanks guys

What I meant was in the photo taken, is there much difference on the visible area?

You can work it out. 4 is 16.6% of 24 so you'd "lose" roughly 15% of framable content dropping to 28. Ish.



It's not an exact science, but obviously the wider you get, the greater percentage any particular figure is of that. ie 4mm between 24 and 28mm is going to be a bigger difference than between a 396mm lens and 400 (assuming anyone ever made a 396 anyway )

Thanks!!! That's exactly what I was looking for!
