Harry Harrison Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Admittedly I'm guessing here but as the sensor gets larger then the focal length needed for any particular angle of view increases and this creates the main problem in a slim phone. I see that this is an 'ultrawide', equivalent to 19mm in '35mm' terms, only slightly narrower than my Canon 17mm TS-E. That means for a more standard view you'll need to crop the result, losing the advantage of the larger sensor. Obviously great if you go for that ultrawide view of course.

Robert M Estall Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) If I were into smartphones, I'd certainly look out for a UK launch, but I'm not, so won't. But a 19mm "standard" lens sounds interesting, I use wide angle a lot; or at least I did when there was some money to be made in this business Speaking of smartphones; got no smartphone so can't be "pinged" which is handy at the moment. I do have a proper paper communication from the NHS certifying that I have had two Pfizer jabs when and where. You don't have to rely on an app on a phone.

Travelshots Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Robert I'm getting the paper version as well . Don't trust the iPhone NHS software to work in Malaga airport next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
