...You have to STOP thinking about lenses in terms of a 35mm Full Frame Still Photo camera, because it makes no sense for other formats, especially when looking at film and video formats.

A 165mm Super-Angulon Lens is an Ultra-Wide lens on an 8x10 inch large format camera, and a medium telephoto on a 35mm Full Frame camera.

The Micro 4/3 format is very close to the size of the standard 35mm Motion Picture format, so you should be thinking of Micro 4/3 lenses the same way you would when using a 35mm Motion Picture camera.

AbelCine has a very good interactive FOV tool that helps to understand the relationship between lens focal lengths and camera formats.
