Source sentences:
text: Instead, focal length is measured from the rear nodal point—which, along with the focal point, is one of the cardinal points in Gaussian optics—to the focal point while the lens is focused at infinity.
text: Adding a close-up lens to a lens focused to infinity changes the focus point to the focal length of the close-up lens, that is, the inverse of its optical power.
text: We define focal length as the distance from the optical center of the lens to the focal plane (target or "chip") of the video camera when the lens is focused at infinity.
text: Strictly, the Principal Distance is the distance mentioned above (i.e. distance from imaging plane to the lens optical sensor), and the focal length is the principal distance when the lens is focused at infinity.
text: This printed number is actually its nominal length or the principal distance when the lens is focused at infinity.
text: A lens that has a 50mm nominal focal length (so a 50mm principal distance when focused at infinity) might in fact have a 100mm principal distance when focused at a few inches!
