The "quick answer" to the general question of the lens length of the human eye seems to be 50mm, or so Google tells me.  But if I dig a bit, there is debate about this, at least for 3D representation.  Does binocularity affect the matter, or other factors?  To be Poser-specific, is Poser's camera handling consistent with the more general debate?  Is it the same as in other 3D contexts, or are there quirks to consider?

Trying to "eyeball" it (is that a pun?  No?  Umm.  :unsure:), setting a dolly camera to 50mm Focal doesn't seem to accurately represent what I would expect to see if I were standing in the environment.  I have to go much lower before I feel comfortable with the peripheral range of the displayed image.  But I'd rather be accurate than guess, or I'd at least like to know the correct answer before I decide whether to favor it or not.

Does anyone have any idea?  😕
