What is a 24mm lens on a crop sensor?

What is a 24mm lens on a crop sensor?

24mm is an interesting focal length for both full frame and APS-C (crop sensor) cameras. On a cropped sensor camera such as a Rebel XSi or EOS 50D, a 24mm lens gives you the same field of view as a 38.4mm lens would on a full frame camera. This is a useful “normal-wide” focal length.

What is the 24mm equivalent on APS-C?

The lens you are looking at – 24mm on APS-C – is equivalent to about 38mm which is the wide end of standard so hardly qualifies as wide angle at all.

How do you find the equivalent of aperture?

Equivalent Aperture = (F-Number) x (Crop Factor) Equivalent ISO = (ISO) x (Crop Factor^2)

Is aperture different on APS-C?

At the same aperture and for the same field of view, an APS-C sensor will have a higher depth of field than with a full frame camera. A full frame sensor camera and lens will have less in focus for a given aperture and field of view than an APS-C combination, allowing more creative effects.

What is the 50mm equivalent for APS-C?

75mm
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. But for the rest of the world, it’s a 75mm equivalent.

Is there a conversion factor for the aperture on 24mm APSC lenses?

So, for example, a 24mm lens on APSC is roughly the same as a 36mm on full frame. My question: is there a similar conversion factor for the aperture? For example, is f2.8 on a 36mm full frame the same as f2.8 on 24mm APSC? There is, but you have to be aware of when to use it.

What does a 50mm lens look like on APS-C?

It was important to let people know that a 50mm lens gave a narrower field of view on APS-C, similar to a 75mm lens on a 35mm film / full-frame camera. Manufacturers also came up with a formula to compute the equivalent field of view in the form of a “ crop factor ” – the ratio of 35mm film diagonal to the APS-C sensor diagonal.

How much is a 24mm lens equivalent to a 36mm lens?

So, for example, a 24mm lens on APSC is roughly the same as a 36mm on full frame. My question: is there a similar conversion factor for the aperture?

What is the equivalent field of view of an APS-C sensor?

Canon’s APS-C sensors are slightly smaller and have a crop factor of 1.6x. So calculating the equivalent field of view got rather simple – take the focal length of a lens and multiply it by the crop factor.
