Description Marcus Dapp 2008-07-15 21:01:06 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The value given as "Focal length" is not what photographers expect to see. That value is a camera/hardware-specific value not used by photographers.

They need the (standardized) value in [mm] given under Details|Camera|FocalLenghtIn35mmFilm.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any photos EXIF information and look at the Focal length tag.
2. Recognize it is not a familiar value at all to you.
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:
That the focal length shows the focal length based on 35mm film, the standard value used for lenses, etc.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Solution: Display the EXIF value of FocalLenghtIn35mmFilm instead.
