minus-square@AdrianTheFroglinkEnglish1•edit-25 months agoDepends, I think. In the same order of magnitude definitely. Edit: this makes me wonder, is it possible to get an orthographic perspective with an ordinary size (but maybe not standard) lens on a normal camera?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•5 months agoI suppose tilt shift lenses can achieve that.
minus-square@Paragonelink-1•5 months agoNo, tilt-shift doesn’t have any bearing on whether it’s focal-length is high-enough to make the magnification 1:1… hth! _ /\ _
