I have seen "35mm equivalent" used. I think that's easier to understand 
than just "35mm". Then you would perhaps not need the "(lens)" in the 
first string, but something "(actual focal length)" works better with 
"35mm equivalent", although it's hard to explain how focal length works 
and converts between different sensor sizes in two sentence stubs :)
