🎁 Full Frame Vs Aps C Focal Length
Most macro lenses offer a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:1. That means that a 10 mm x 10 mm will be represented as a 10 x 10 mm square on either sensor. And to complete the illusion, all you need to do is enlarge the smaller photograph until it is the same size as the larger. That is why this is an important concept for macro photographers.
OR you can attach an EF-S lens (same mount but opening tailored for the smaller sensor) which holds the focal length true for the APS-C sensor. When inputing the focal length above for a EF Full frame lens attached to the APS-C sensor, I have do the 1.62x calculation first, correct? i.e. an EF 30mm would be effectively a 48.6mm on the APS-C sensor.
On a full-frame camera this is 43mm – and so typically a 50mm is regarded as a standard lens for full-frame purposes. On an APS-C camera it is around 27mm (43mm divided by 1.6). These are the benchmarks for identifying lens types. A focal length greater than the standard is telephoto and a focal length less than the standard is wide-angle.
The really cool thing about the Sony A7/A7R is that either can cost-effectively put a high-quality full-frame 36x24mm sensor behind nearly any old SLR lens. Of course, you can sort-of do that on an APS-C mirrorless camera using a focal reducer such as the original Speed Booster (SB) or the cheaper Lens Turbo (LT).
As the APS-C sensor is smaller than the full frame sensor (also known as 35mm), the same lens will look different depending on which type of camera/sensor you mount it. The Sony APS-C sensors are approx. 1.5 times smaller than a full frame and other manufactures (such as Canon) is 1.6 times smaller.
Finally, Olympus and Panasonic/Leica use a slightly different cropped format known as the Four Thirds system. The crop of the sensor varies a little between manufacturers as well. Most manufacturers' crop is smaller than a full frame sensor by a 1.6 ratio. But, Nikon's ratio is 1.5 and Olympus' ratio is 2.
Full-frame has shallower DOF when comparing equivalent focal length, or in other words lenses that produce the same field of view on the different sensor. This means APS-C will have a shorter focal length, which results in wider DOF. APS-C will also have wider DOF when comparing shooting with the same focal length and achieving the same framing.
For example, f/2 on full-frame is equivalent to f/2.8 on medium format in terms of depth of field. APS-C is a stop less than full-frame, and 2 stops less than medium format. For the purpose of subject isolation, f/2 on APS-C has the look of f/2.8 in full-frame and f/4 medium format. Micro 4/3rds is another stop below, and so on down the line.
It also depends on the type of camera. That’s because, for APS-C cameras, you have to apply the crop factor. So, a 35mm lens on a full-frame camera is like having a 50mm lens on a cropped sensor. What focal length is best for family portraits? The short answer would be to get a focal length. Something that ranges from 35mm to 85mm or so.
The Difference Between Full Frame vs. APS-C. Full-frame and APS-C formats indicate the sensor's physical dimensions, entirely different from pixel count. A full-frame sensor has 36mm by 24mm in size based on the traditional 35mm film format. An APS-C sensor is 1.5 times smaller, 25.1mm by 16.7mm, and named after the Advanced Photo System type-C
That means a 24mm focal length on an APS-C sensor camera will have a (cropped) field of view of 150% compared to a full-frame, resulting in a focal length “equivalent” of 36mm. Medium format
85mm portrait lens. A short telephoto is typically the portrait photographer's favourite focal length - with a something around 56mm on a camera with an APS-C sensor or a 85mm on a full-frame
