Why the Photography World Needs More 43mm Lenses

Fact: More and more photographers hate the 50mm focal length. It's been the standard in the industry for such a long time, but it's so overdone that many of us are sick of it. Manufacturers have realized this and have typically gone a bit longer or a bit wider.

But for the life of me, I don't understand why we don't have more 43mm lenses. Why this focal length? Well, we're going to harken back to one of the best things that Pentax did in the 35mm photography world. 43mm is the diagonal of a piece of 35mm film. Full-frame digital sensors have stayed around the same size. And so a 43mm lens would be the real normal. In this case, it's not necessarily about distortion or anything, but more about the field of view. .
