I guess nothing with your code. Coincidently I just stumbled above the 
same issue where in my scene the vlength calculation for 
mc_focal_distance did result in 67.77 but actually I had to use 90.5 - 
as I did find out after a lot of time consuming trial and error.

So *maybe* multiplying the real focal distance by a factor of ca. 1.35 
does work. But I'm currently too bored to verify this with MCPov.
