Turns out I already had the exiftool download on my desktop and I installed it. WOW that's quite comprehensive. So it appears that Fuji does report 35mm Equivalent Focal Length. That's great and hopefully it will interpret most popular manufacturer's data this way.

My interest in this is GAS related. I have a Nikon D200 with several legacy and AF-S lenses. But my wife hates when I travel with a ILC so I find I'm always using my Fuji bridge. When someone posts images from a P900 or a Sony RX10II,III or any of the superzooms really, it catches my eye and in my mind I would like to look/compare IQ so that if I decide to upgrade from my Fuji I will have some idea of how these cameras perform at the longer focal lengths. Right now I cannot afford the Sony's or I'd probably have pulled the trigger already. Maybe a refurb. P900 at some point but for now I'll keep watching and comparing and this information will be a great help. Thanks very much Don.

I just did some reading about EXIFTOOL and see that it may CALCULATE the 35 mm equivalent value on the fly, so it takes the crop factor and applies it to the focal length to display the 35 mm equivalent value.

I understand the GAS related stuff for sure! :)

I think as long as EXIFTOOL is used to look at the data it will show you what you need to know.

You are welcome for sure!

My Nikon 7200 displays both the actual lens focal length and the 35mm equivalent.


As does my Panny G5
