And don't forget formats bigger than 35mm. ;-) The LF potographers on the list would also point out that focal length and angle of view are not the same -- two lenses with the same focal length but differing angles of view will have different circles of coverage; i.e. able to cover different formats or allow more or less shift movements. All 50mm lenses do not have the same angle of view. E.g. a 50mm f.l. designed for medium format has a wider angle of view than a 50mm f.l. made for 35mm.
