<quote>Mark with all due respect mon ami..... that's having to think
about it.... we are photographers and all those decimal points can scare
the hell out of a guy.
Shoot picture look at scene and remember what you saw in the view finder
and from then on you'll be close.
If a photographer wishes to be 100% perfect in what goes on the sensor
then one should use an SLR. :-)
Now see how KISS easy taht was? :-)

Point taken Ted.  BUT Steve was asking for an explanation.  To put it
another way, divide the actual focal length by 3 and add it on.  So 15
becomes 15 plus 5 = 20, 21mm plus 7 equals 28...etc.

Not as simple as chimping, but not that scary IMHO.
