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?

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
