What is the equivalent of an 85mm on a crop sensor?

To get an equivalent field of view from a crop sensor camera while still having a similar field of view as an 85mm lens on a full-frame sensor, you would need a 56mm lens. 56×1.5x = 84mm, which is close enough.

How far should an 85mm lens be from a subject?

85mm Focal Length The minimum focusing distance or focal length with it is approximately 2.8 feet from your intended focal point.

Will using a full-frame lens with a cropped sensor Increase focal length?

No, you can’t. You simply don’t get a crop when using full frame lenses on a crop sensor body. The focal length of any lens will produce the same image on your crop sensor camera regardless of if the lens is designed for a full frame camera or a crop sensor camera.

Do I need an 85mm if I have a 50mm?

If you’re on a crop sensor camera, the 50mm is one of the closest lenses to being equivalent to a full frame 85mm. So for crop sensor photographers, the 50mm is a great choice for getting a similar look to an 85mm out of a crop sensor camera, and getting the same f/1.8 aperture.

How far can a 85mm lens shoot?

The closest focus of the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G is 2.6 ft (0.8m). With a depth of field calculator at f/4 and a subject distance of 20 ft, the depth of field would be a bit over 2.5 ft. That will vary depending on if you have a full frame sensor, your subject distance and your aperture.

What does 85mm focal length mean?

What Makes The 85mm Focal Length Special? Unlike the 50mm lens, which we also note as a very popular portrait photography focal length, the 85mm is a true telephoto lens. Basically, what this means is that the lens offers a tighter field of view, and some level of magnification, as well as compression.

What is 16mm on a crop sensor?

Your 16mm lens mounted on a camera with a 1.6 crop factor will produce images with a field of view equivalent to a 25- to 26mm lens, which is a more narrow field of view than your 16mm lens can provide on a camera with a full-frame sensor (which is equal to a frame of 35mm film).

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 equivalent of an 85mm lens on a crop sensor?

So, anything between 50mm to 60mm would be close to get the equivalent of a 85mm lens on crop sensor body. (85mm/1.5 crop factor = 56.67 or 85mm/1.6 factor = 53.13) But remember, just because we found an equivalent mathematically, it doesn’t mean that you’ll get the same image.

Is there a difference between full frame and crop sensor lenses?

There is some separation differences, but they are more noticeable on long focal length lenses. Distortion is a factor of lens to subject distance, so is less noticeable on the crop sensor that the full frame with the same lens. Yes a 50mm on an APS-C will have almost the same facial distortion as a 85mm on a full frame (as a 75mm to be exact).

Does 50mm on a crop sensor camera = great portrait glass?

If a nifty-fifty is pretty universal on a full-frame, then it becomes too narrow on a crop (in terms of photography uses/genres), so it’s likely you won’t be satisfied with it as much. 50mm on a crop = great portrait glass? Some people say that 50mm on a crop sensor camera is a portrait lens. It’s not exactly so.

What is the crop factor of a 35mm camera?

If you currently own an APS-C camera, then it likely has a 1.5 or 1.6 crop factor . In a nutshell, it describes the size difference between a 35mm full frame (film) and your DSLR’s sensor. Have a quick look at the image below.
