need to approx match a shot taken on a nikon d200 using a 17mm lens.
The camera has a 2/3 chip.
This is all the info I have.
Anyone know the approx match to maxwell focal length ?

as maxwell is setup to match the back of a full frame camera (35mm), you have to multiply your number by 1.5 - that is 17*1.5=25.5mm.

your other option would have been to set it to 17mm and adjust the film size accordingly to your camera (the exact size can surely be found on the internet)
