Also termed a standard lens, a normal lens has a focal length approximately equal to the diagonal of the film format or of a digital camera's image sensor. A scene viewed through a normal lens ap [..]

A lens that, for a specific camera Aperture, produces an Angle of View approximating that of the human eye, or about 25 degrees. See: Angle of View and Perspective.

In 16mm this is the 25mm lens. In 35mm it is the 50mm lens. It is the point between the widening of the image by the wide angle lens and the magnifiying of the image by the telephoto lens.

A lens that captures the same perspective as the human eye. On a full-frame camera, the normal lens is roughly 50mm. On a camera with an APS-C image sensor, a normal lens is about 35mm, and on a camer [..]

A lens that shows objects without severely exaggerating or reducing the depth of the scene's planes. In 35mm-filming, a normal lens is 35-50mm. Other terms to explore: Telephoto lens, Wide-angle lens. In super-8 filming with the Knoflex, a normal lens setting is 20-25mm.

A lens that's also called standard because it has a focal length roughly the same as the diagonal of the film format and is around the same magnification as the naked eye.

This category has a focal length of 50mm for 35mm cameras. Nuvis:

A lens with a focal length of approximately the diagonal measurement of the film image area. A 50mm lens is considered the normal lens for 35mm photography. Normal lenses view the subject like unaided human eyes, neither reducing or enlarging the subject size.

The standard lens has a fixed focal length (50mm, 85mm, 100mm), and reproduces fairly accurately what the human eye sees – in terms of perspective and angle of view. For a 35mm film camera or a full-frame DSLR, the 50mm lens is considered standard. At higher focal lengths (85mm or 100mm) you have an ideal lens for portraiture, because when coupled [..]

describes a lens with a focal length approximately equal to the diagonal of the film format for which it is being used.

Lens with a focal length approximately equal to the diagonal of the film format or of a digital camera's image sensor. A scene viewed through a normal lens appears to have the same perspective as the way your eye sees it. Most 35mm cameras normal lenses have a focal length of approximately 50 mm.

(photography) A lens which produces an image similar in detail and angular perspective to the view produced by the human eye, as distinct from a wide-angle lens or a telephoto lens.
