Digital photography is now widely used to document orthodontic patients. High quality intra-oral photography depends on a
satisfactory ‘depth of field’ focus and good illumination. Automatic ‘through the lens’ (TTL) metering is ideal to achieve both
the above aims. Ten

The lenses chosen for this study were kept as close as possible to a 100 mm equivalent (for 36 mm analogue film). Nikon and Fujifilm use a small sensor, which does not fill the 36 mm film-area. A magnification factor of approximately 1
