Hi -- Very close to 2:1 ratio. Plus a bit... For instance double 50mm, add a
bit, and the 105mm has very close to the same angle of view -- at least
going by diagonal lengths, since they have different proportions.

For your 35mm equivalent angle of view you have two choices in the P67: The
older and much less expensive 75mm f/4.5 and the latest hot stuff and more
expensive 75mm f/2.8 AL aspheric. I have the latter and it's a wonderful
lense except for a touch of barrel distortion. Pentax specs say it has a 61°
angle of view, which is a touch narrower than the 63° usually quoted for a
35mm, but it seems the same to me. I hear the f/4.5 is more closely
rectilinear, therefore preferred for architectural photography for instance.
Also there's a third choice, more obscure and also expensive; the
perspective control 75mm f/4.5 with pre-set diaphragm.

The excellent 55mm f/4 or the older f/3.5 gets you wider, more into the
26-27mm equivalent range.

Enjoy your shopping!
