Yeah, 50mm was the traditional full-frame 35mm film "normal" lens but anything from about 35mm focal length to 100mm or so would be pretty conventional. You get wider or longer than that and you're getting into different perspectives than what a human eye would normally see. But, as you say, it's not really a straightforward comparison.

Viewfinders are also usually designed to have around 1x magnification with a 50 mm lens. That's why the viewfinders on crop DSLRs seem smaller than on a fullframe, because they literally are 2/3rds the size.
