Field of View Comparison Tool
The tool calculates a lens multiplier, which tells you how telephoto or wide your shot will feel, using one formula: Multiplier = Lens Focal Length ÷ Recorded Horizontal Width. Pick your camera, sensor mode, and lens type (spherical or anamorphic), then enter a focal length.
A multiplier of exactly 1.0x is the orthographic lens, where the focal length equals the recorded horizontal width. Orthographic is a projection method where parallel lines remain parallel and objects maintain the same scale regardless of their distance from the camera, producing the most balanced, transparent perspective and the closest match to human spatial perception.
Below 1.0x is wide (immersive, distorted), and above 1.0x is telephoto (compressed, isolating). Click any famous-film card to load that exact setup (the Presets filter shows quick signature setups), or use “Compare with another camera” to see how the same field of view translates across two cameras.

Perspective Compression — what your scene actually looks like
Subject stays the same size in frame — focal length changes how big everything behind them appears, and how compressed the space feels.
3D scene with real lens perspective. Depth of field is rendered for the chosen stop (treated as the f-number), sensor and focal length, focused at the subject.
