The size of the area exposed by a 35-mm camera
is 36×24mm. The size of the area exposed by the
D40, in contrast, is 23.7×15.6, meaning that the
picture angle of a 35-mm camera is approxi-
mately 1.5 times that of the D40. The approxi-
mate focal length of lenses for the D40 in 35-mm
format can be calculated by multiplying the focal
length of the lens by about 1.5.
