Nikon 50 mm AF-D lens and D70 question

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Hi,
Does Nikon 50 mm AF-D lens becomes a wide angle lens if used with D70
or it remains a 50 mm lens? Is there anything different happens when we
use this lens with D70 because of CCD smaller than 35 mm film?
Thanks in advance.

It remains a 50mm lens but the image is cropped down to the image of a
75mm.

See this.

It's commonly referred to as a multiplier though, but you are correct. The
angle of view is the only thing that changes. You get the angle of view of a
75mm lens on a 50 - but it's still a 50mm.

I didn't say "multiplied". I said "cropped".
