Yes, that's right Andrew - the angle of view of the 180mm is narrower on 135
film than it is on 120 film, as dan described. But it is still a 180mm
lens.
The other way of looking at it is as Doro described - on 120 film the 180mm
has an angle of view rougly the same as a 105mm lens on 135 film.
Interesting to see that it isn't *any old* EOS you have, but the RT.
Reminds me of the Pellix I had for a while - interesting, but pretty much
unusable by comparison with the OM-1 of almost the same vintage. Put your
Zeiss lens on a Pellix and you would need a wheelbarrow to move it around!

I have an EOS adapter on order so that I can use it on my RT but having
trouble with the idea that it stays at 180mm on 35mm - surely the smaller
frame 'captures' a section from the centre rather than the whole frame.
