P3D V-M's "normal"

I'm not sure where the 1.4 factor comes from; View-Master diagonal being
17.7mm has always meant to me that a 17.7mm FL lens would be "normal",
thus the V-M Personal's 25mm lens is slightly _telephoto_ for the format.
This is why I prefer the V-M Mark II's 20mm lens -- to my eyes, it is more
normal (and compared to V-M Personal, it really does make the V-M P seem
telephoto!).
