Wide Angle to Telephoto
These two pictures were taken at both ends of a Nikon 18-70 mm zoom lens on a digital SLR. At 18 mm (top), the field of view is the widest. At 70 mm (bottom), the scene is the narrowest. The 18-70 mm on the Nikon camera is equivalent to a 27-105 mm lens on a 35 mm analog SLR camera (see crop factor).
