What is a 200mm lens on a crop sensor?

A Nikon crop sensor camera has a diagonal measurement of 28.8mm, so the crop factor is 43.2/28.8 = 1.5. Now to find the equivalent focal length of a lens you multiply it by the crop factor – so a 200mm lens on a crop sensor gives the same field of view as a 300mm (200 x 1.5 = 300) lens on a full frame sensor.

What is 35mm equivalent on crop sensor?

A 35mm lens on a camera with a crop factor of 1.3x, has a 35mm equivalent of 46mm. A 50mm lens on a camera with a crop factor of 1.3x, has a 35mm equivalent of 65mm.

What is a 70 200mm lens called?

The EF 70–200mm lenses are a group of Telephoto zoom full-frame lens made by Canon. The lenses have an EF mount to work with the EOS line of cameras. The lens comes in seven different versions, all of which have fixed maximum aperture at all focal lengths, and are L-series lenses.

What is a 70 200 on a crop sensor?

Just to be clear… the lens is still a 70-200mm lens. Your sensor captures a narrower viewing angle than a full frame sensor does, so the 200mm focal length on your camera provides the same angle of view as a 320mm focal length would on full frame.

What is 50mm on APSC?

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. This gives it a crop factor of 0.78x. A 50mm lens on this Pentax camera gives an equivalent field of view of a 39mm lens.

Is crop sensor better for astrophotography?

For astrophotography using a telescope or a long zoom lens on a tracker, an APS-C sensor is often preferable. The smaller sensor means you’ll be able to get extra magnification and a tighter field of view. The narrower field of view also means you’ll experience less vignetting than you would using a larger sensor.

Can you put a full frame lens on a crop sensor?

Full frame cameras should only use full frame lenses. 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. You get image cropping, sure, but you can still shoot great images!

What is the difference between crop-sensor and full frame?

Full frame sensors have the same dimensions as 35mm film or 24mm x 36mm, which is the standard size. Crop sensor refers to any sensor smaller than the 35mm film frame. If you are using a crop sensor camera the sensor is basically cropping out the edges of the frame, which increases the focal length.

How do you find the focal length of a 35mm equivalent?

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 70-200 good for landscape?

Believe it or not, a 70-200 can be very useful for landscape photography. Most people use wide-angle lenses for this; however, if the subject is a moderate distance away, a wide-angle lens leaves a lot of empty space around the edges.

Do I need a 70-200 lens?

A 70-200mm lens fills the need for an occasional sports lens perfectly. If you shoot a lot of indoor sports, you’ll need the speed of the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. You’ll need a fast (wide) aperture of the f/2.8 lens to shoot at shutter speeds fast enough to stop action.

What is the crop factor of a 200mm lens?

12.3 degrees is what the 200mm lens gives you on its native format, which is called 135-format. The crop factor of your camera is 61.8% because that is how much of the imaging area of the native format of the lens has been “lost” by using it on your T3i. It’s not bad or good.

Why are 70-200mm equivalents to 50-150mm?

The reason is that in order to account for the crop factor, you also have to multiple the aperture by the crop factor. A 50-150mm F2.8 lens on a cropped sensor is effectively a 70-200mm F4 lens on a full frame and that’s why they have similar weights and prices.

Is the 200mm EF the same as the EF-S?

No. 200mm EF is exactly the same as 200mm EF-S. The crop factor is to relate the field of view recorded by the T3i to that of old 35mm film cameras (and the same sized sensor of the 5D/1Ds/1DX). Whether EF or EF-S, 200mm lens on the T3i will give equivalent view of 320mm lens on a 5D.

Are there 70-200mm equivalents to APS-C lenses?

And yet it’s interesting to note that most manufacturers (including third-party lens makers), have concentrated on continuing to make 70-200mm lenses, rather than lenses offers the equivalent range on APS-C. Mirrorless makers don’t have the benefit or baggage of pre-existing lens lineups.
