Focal Length instead of FOV Tweet

[Alminia]

It would be cool to have a "focal length" parameter rather than "fov" in the camera parameters.
Because honestly it speaks to nobody. Everyone in the audiovisual world knows how to refer to focal lengths, who uses the FOV?
Plus it is a common standart in other render engines.

Thx

It's already here (in Standalone, I and would suppose, in some other plugins).
I suppose it has not been implemented ("enabled / made visible") on Octane for Max.

From where this claim is coming from? It certainly does in the motion picture and post-production domains (from which I'm part of and can testify for).

It is worth to mention that both "focal length" and "AoV" (also "FoV") are often ambiguously discussed, by the lack of the inseparable imager's dimensions (width, height) or diagonal relationship.
