If I buy a 50 mm lens and mount it on a camera that is denoted as having a extension factor of 1.4, this yields a focal length of 1.4 x 50 mm = 70 mm.

The effect, that a lens with a focal length of 50 mm (SI), mounted to a camera with a smaller frame size has a smaller angle of view, is called focal length magnification.

As explained in detail in the field of view article, the focal length of a lens is responsible for the captured field of view of an image.

One disadvantage of the focal length extension comes where wide angle lenses are to be build, since the focal lengths cannot be shortened arbitrarily. To, for example, construct a SI equivalent 28mm lens for a camera with an extension factor of 2, one has to use a 14mm lens. In the last years, there have been big advances made in the construction of lenses with short focal lengths, but this development is limited by the fact that flaws in the image like the vignetting (darkening of the edges) are very hard to correct in this area of focal lengths. Another important point that has to be considered when designing a lens is its resolution.

It is possible to use the KASE system on a wide range of lenses, the threads available for the KASE Antilaser filter are the following:

When speaking of lenses with a standard focal length, we are referring to lenses that approximately match the human eye with its viewing angle of 47° (50 mm lenses for small image format).

The other way round, a lens with standard focal length for medium format will appear as a telephoto lens when mounted on a 35mm camera."

"If, for example, a 35mm lens is mounted on a medium format camera, the focal length does not correspond to the standard focal length anymore, since a larger field of image is captured. (Of course it is not always possible to change the lenses of different camera formats, since the lenses are naturally designed to fit a certain type of camera).

Anyone who wants to have a closer look at focal length and the way it can be calculated, and isn't afraid of a little bit of mathematics, will find out about the calculation of the focal length and the so-called "standard" focal length here.

Generally the chips are smaller than the size of a 35mm film camera's, which leads to an extension of the focal length when using lenses which are composed for film cameras. In order to measure it, the focal length is calculated as if would be on a 35mm camera. This is called 35mm equivalent.

Using the so-called magnification factor it is possible to calculate the focal length. These factors normally lie between 1.4x and 2x.

As a rule of thumb we can say, that shorter focal lengths lead to a wider field of view being captured (wide angle shots), whereas longer focal lengths (for example when using tele-lenses) capture a smaller part of the scene (but zooms in on this part to fill the whole frame with it).

Focal length magnification describes the phenomenon, where the use of different sized film- or CCD-formats (or the use of lenses designed to be used with other formats) changes the field of image that is captured and its magnification factor.

One advantage is that it is possible to build compact telephoto lenses, since a lens that would have needed a focal length of 200 mm for a 35mm camera, only needs a focal length of 100mm when used with a suitable (smaller) chip.

Digital cameras are especially demanding in this context, since CCD-chips have (for the most part) a much smaller format than the field of image of a 35mm film.

If the the size of the field of view is changed (and the diagonal of the field of view), the focal length seems to change. But in fact it is not the focal length, but rather the angle of the field of image.

The KASE Anti-laser filter will allow us to work safely in environments where there is laser light since these lights can easily damage the sensor, if you are a photographer of events where laser lights are involved, such as in discos or concerts, this filter you have to Use it as protection for your sensor.
