That's just like saying that a 16-80mm m43 lens is the same as a 16-80mm full frame lens, you just get the benefit of a wider angle. Lot's of places do this - they list the equivalent focal length, but not the equivalent aperture for reasons unknown. Aperture is equally affected by the crop sensor. -- Sandman |

Aperture is equally affected by the crop sensor. not equally. only for depth of field. |

Sure aperture decribed by F number is, by definition, focal-length divided by lens diameter? The dimensions of the sensor doesn't come into it. |

Just as focal length is, by definition, the lens's ability to converge light. It's a fixed property of the lens. But with lenses for crop sensors, they often list the equivalent 35mm focal length, but not the equivalent 35mm aperture. Both physical factors of the lens are affected when comparing crop to full format. That's why a f4 m43 lens has the equivalent aperture of a f8 full format lens. And that's also why you can't get that short focus distance with (most) m43 lenses. -- Sandman |

An F4 lens is an F4 lens regardless of sensor size, because the exposure is the same at F4 and 1/100s both on the small sensor camera and the large sensor camera. But if you shoot at F8, the exposure time will be 4x the exposure time at F4. the exposure is the same, but the results are not, therefore it's *not* equivalent. for the same image quality and same depth of field, the equivalent f/stop is f/8 in this example, with the iso boosted 2 stops to maintain the proper exposure and the same results. BTW, we are talking about a Fuji lens (1.5x crop). doesn't matter. |

But with lenses for crop sensors, they often list the equivalent 35mm focal length, but not the equivalent 35mm aperture. The 'equivalent 35mm focal length' is intended to guide people who relate field of view to the focal length of their old 35mm camera lens. Both physical factors of the lens are affected when comparing crop to full format. That's why a f4 m43 lens has the equivalent aperture of a f8 full format lens. And that's also why you can't get that short focus distance with (most) m43 lenses. I don't intend to reopen the argument about equivalent apertures so all I can say is that I believe to be misguided. |
