(maximum f/-number) when using a type G lens.

Cal cu lat ing Picture Angle
The size of the area exposed by a 35-mm
camera is 36 × 24 mm. The size of the
area exposed by the D200, in contrast,
is 23.6 ×15.8 mm, meaning that the diago-
nal picture angle of a 35-mm camera is ap-
proximately 1.5 times that of the D200.
