The easiest way to think of it is in terms of equivalent focal length .
Well, there's an even easier way. I regularly shoot a Nikon D3300 DX, D800E & Nikon F3T 35mm, Bessa 6x9cm, Chamonix 045n 4x5, and Gundlach Korona 5x7 I don't think of lenses in terms of length or "mm". For each format I have three lenses. They are based on doubling focal length. Roughly, in FX/35mm terms, it's 24/50/100mm. The actual numbers are different for each format, of course (for 4x5 my lenses are 90/150/300mm) Normal lens on DX is about 35mm, on FX 50mm, on 6x6 it's 80mm, on 6x9 it's 105mm, on 4x5 it's 150mm, on 5x7 it's 200mm......... The way I think of them is I have a wide lens, a normal lens, and a telephoto. Since I'm more than just an FX/35mm shooter, it makes little sense for me to get hung up on millimeters, but rather think of lenses in terms of how they perform.
