AboutMartin Seymour Expertise I have worked in most aspects of still photography, using film and the wet process for 50 years. Employing all film formats 35mm to 8x10 sizes, I went over partly to digital cameras in 02, also PC editing of pictures.
I still find film work more demanding , as you have to get it right at the start with no auto settings on the camera to cover my mistakes.
Pictorial work is my personal interest.
Its is not a good idea for me to suggest a particular make of equipment just a type, and its uses.

Question can you tell me the 35mm equivalence to:
80mm 6x6
60mm 6x4.5
Answer Hi ?
Good question, usually the standard lens of any camera is considered to be equal to the diagonal measurement of the particular neg size.
E.g., a 6x6 neg will measure approximately 75mm so your 80 mm lens would also be equivalent to a standard lens.
Also a 35 mm neg will measure about 50 mm = to and referred to as a standard lens OK.
Measurements will vary from camera to camera due to manufactures tolerances.
