What is a 50mm lens on a crop-sensor?
A 50mm lens on a camera with a 1.5x crop factor APS-C sensor gives a field of view equivalent to that of a 75mm lens on a full-frame or 35mm film camera. Remember, the actual focal length of the lens is unchanged, as is its aperture. This gives it a crop factor of 0.78x.
Is Canon 50mm 1.8 crop-sensor?
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM was introduced in 2015. It’s among the smallest and lightest lenses available for EF-mount cameras, only slightly larger than the recently reviewed Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM. The focal 50mm length is convenient on both crop-sensor and full-frame cameras.
How do you get 50mm on APS-C?
Multiply the focal length printed on the lens by 1.5 to obtain the 35mm-equivalent focal length of a lens mounted on a camera with an APS-C sensor. For example, if you mount a 50mm lens on an APS-C sensor camera such as the ILCE-6000, you’ll get the same view as a 75mm lens on a full-frame camera (50mm x 1.5 = 75mm).
Is 50mm lens on APS-C?
The 50mm Lens is Pretty Much a Perfect Portrait Lens. A 50mm lens on APS-C cameras is nearly a perfect portrait pairing. On Canon cameras, it’s a 1.6x crop, which is around 80mm. 75mm lenses are a classic portrait focal length before 85mm came around. Plus, you’re only using the center of the 50mm lens.
Is 50mm lens good for crop sensor?
If you do have a cropped sensor camera, you also need to know that a 50mm lens on a cropped sensor camera doesn’t actually act like a 50mm lens. In other words, even if you buy exactly the same lens, your photos will probably not look similar if you are using a cropped sensor camera.
How do you get a 50mm on a crop sensor?
For Nikon the conversion factor, or “crop factor” is 1.5. So 50mm divided by 1.5 equals 33.33mm. 35mm is the practical equivalent to this. For Canon crop sensor bodies the crop factor is 1.6 so the focal length to give the same angle of view would be 31.25mm.
Is APS-C 50mm 1.8 good?
Re: Is the 50mm 1.8 still useful on a APS-C sensor? For $100, it’s great to have on hand for very low light situations, or achieving extremely small dof. It’s also so small and light, it’s very easy to pack it along without impacting your bag much at all.
What is 18mm on a crop sensor?
18mm x 1.6 = 28.8mm. Your 18mm lens will produce a field of view on your crop sensor camera similar to what a 28.8mm lens would on a full frame one. So if you’re looking for a very wide scene, then you might want to pick out a lens that is wider than 18mm to compensate for your crop.
Is APSC 50mm 1.8 good?
Can I use full frame lens on crop sensor?
Full frame cameras should only use full frame lenses. Crop frame sensor lenses are designed specifically to match the smaller size of crop sensors. Full frame lenses work just fine on crop sensor cameras because the image coverage is 35mm, which is more than enough to cover the crop camera’s approximate 24mm sensor.
Can you use a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera?
First, full frames have higher ISO and can handle that ISO better in terms of grain. Second, full frames produce better color and picture quality. This means if you put a 50mm lens on a full frame, its focal length is 50mm. However, on a crop sensor the actual focal length for a 50mm is 80mm (Canon) or 75mm (Nikon).
What focal length is a 50mm on a crop sensor?
Third, a crop sensor has a crop of 1.6x (Canon) or 1.5x (Nikon). This means if you put a 50mm lens on a full frame, its focal length is 50mm. However, on a crop sensor the actual focal length for a 50mm is 80mm (Canon) or 75mm (Nikon).
