1) f = v x (D/V) or 2) f = h x (D/H)
f : focal length of lens
V : Vertical field of view
H : Horizontal field of view
D : Distance from Lens to Object
v : vertical multiplier (see table below)
h : horizontal multiplier (see table below)

Substitute these data to formula #1 above:
f = 4.8 x (2500/340) = approx. 35 mm
Therefore, specify a 35mm lens to achieve a 340mm vertical f.o.v. from 2500mm object distance with a 1/2" format camera.
Note: f.o.v. (V or H) and object distance (D) can be in any units of measure, provided they are both the same.
