Yes, but my problem is that POV-Ray has no film or sensor size. The 
background: I want to use the same camera settings in Blender than in POV. 
POV-Ray uses the  (horizontal) 'angle' directive, Blender uses a focal 
length similar to a real camera. I know that the angel of the camera has 25 
degrees so I need the corresponding focal length.

Impossible?

Andreas
