The field of view, relative to a standard lens in a 35mm still camera, expressed in degrees, i.e. 30°. For practical purposes, this is the area that a lens can cover, where the angle of view is determined by the focal length of the lens. A wide angle lens has a short focal length and covers a wider angle of view than standard or telephoto lenses, which have longer focal lengths.
