That's the diagonal field of view.

In photography, lengths in mm usually refer to the focal length of the
lens. It's not the width of the lens.

Not when you're referring to the size of the film stock.

I was referring to either a double-wide 35mm format or simply that of
the 5cm X 7cm format, of which I don't believe they had such.

The part about an assembly of those 50mm images was exactly what it
was, though why did they feel so compelled to skew the lunar surface
into being so unusually near white, and without hardly any meteorites
and shards?

This following rant is getting somewhat off the lunar topic, though
not entirely.

Folks have got to stop focusing upon the likes of Mars. I mean, my
God, Mars has been frozen solid and of otherwise irradiated to death
for thousands of years, not to mention pulverised in the past and of
what's ongoing by those pesky meteorites. So far, all that's been
recently learned is exactly what we already knew.

And so what if we located some remains of even an advanced
civilization that once upon a time survived on Mars. It's way too
freaking spendy just getting there, and we've NOT a workable solution
for retrieving one kilogram, much less a tonne worth of anything from
another planet. Remember folks, there's still not independent proof
that we've managed to retrieve one gram directly from our own moon, at
the very least we have NOT even a working prototype instrument lunar
lander, much less a pilotted craft. In other words, you folks need to
get a grip and/or another life, either that or an alternative Borg
collective that has not been infected by the sorts of NSA/DoD Trojan
Horse virus affecting all of what our NASA is involved with.

Even the highly published notion of pondering over some Earth like
monster planet that's 150 light years distant is hardly worth going
for, much less flushing billions into some one-way probe that the next
ten thousand generations will not obtain squat worth of anything.
Worse yet would be having to expedite another spendy though apparently
expendable shuttle crew upon upgrading Hubble is simply morbid, and so
far out of whack that even Charles Manson would be proud, backed up by
the likes of Hitler and those Cathar exterminating Popes, with our
very own warlord GW Bush bringing up the rear with his educational
"high standards and accountability" and of that ultimate "so what's
the difference" policy.

If you insist upon spending billions and of wasting technology and
expertise on something that can't directly benefit humanity, at least
try looking at Sirius and of the 110,000 year cycle of life that's
establishing something that's way more likely as to reveil where our
creators and/or DNA came from, as that's but 8.64 ly. With only the
existing laser technology that we've had for a couple of decades,
those reply packets and/or streaming images (via laser and/or
microwave) could have been coming in as we speak. Meaning that we
might not have the proper laser spectrum detection knowhow to be
receiving by way of photons but, surely anyone looking at our
relatively dim solar system should have been more than capable of
detecting laser packets emitting from such a dumbfounded planet as
Earth.

Otherwise, try focusing yourself upon getting the lunar space elevator
(LSE-CM/ISS) up and running. Once this nifty elevator is established,
only then will the mining of lunar 3He become viable, among so many
other considerations, all of which can directly improve things for
humanity, and within an affordable as well as obtainable goal that's
way past due.

If you elect to think our moon is somehow "off limits" and/or "taboo",
then try out a little local area code calling to/from Venus, as that's
not only taking far less than a penny on any probe dollar, but focused
upon where other life NOT as we know it has to be existing in spite of
our ignorance, arrogance and greed, as there's something on Venus as
of at least 14 years ago that's not microbe, but more than likely
lizard folk like, and perchance even Cathar by nature. Remembering
that unlike Mars, on Venus it's not being irradiated to death nor
currently being pulverised by meteorites, and there's absolutely no
shortage of energy, and that with said energy all sorts of
insurmountable issues become surmountable. Remember also that the
thick and dense atmosphere of Venus is a super terrific positive
attribute, just the opposit of what our NASA and NASA moderated
publications have to say.

Of course, if your Borg implants have been flashing that "blue screen
of death" message, then perhaps you shouldn't bother yourself with the
truth, as that could prove CPU fatal.
