What is 85mm on a crop sensor?
If you were to mount the 85mm lens onto an APSC crop sensor camera, the image incurs a 1.5x crop. This means that your 85mm field of view was multiplied by 1.5x, which equals 127.5mm. 8 crop sensor lens, you wouldn’t get the same exact look that you would using the 85mm f1. 8 lens on the full frame camera.
Does 85mm lens distort when close to the subject?
On 50mm or wider lenses, I generally won’t shoot any closer than a medium angle, as illustrated in the images below. Once we jump to an 85mm or 100mm prime, these issues fall away and we’re free to move in close without worrying about distorting our subject’s features (see the images below).
Does 85mm lens have low or high aperture?
An 85mm lens is an ideal focal length for this type of work because you are close enough to your subject to engage with them and the f/1.8 aperture is wide enough for ‘figure and ground’ separation.
What is a 35mm lens on a crop sensor?
A crop-sensor crops the image of a full-frame sensor by a factor of 1.6. This means a 35mm lens on a crop-sensor camera actually looks more like a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera (35mm * 1.6 = 56mm). The 5D mkII and the 5D mkIII are both full frame cameras.
What focal length of lens is a normal focal length for a cropped sensor camera?
The normal focal length for a cropped sensor is 27.3mm rounded to 28mm.
What lens is best for aperture?
My lens reviews give the best apertures for each lens, but it is almost always f/8 if you need no depth of field. That’s the easy part….For Nikon, Canon, Leica and most 35mm cameras:
| if the lens’ DOF scale says: | then use this for optimum sharpness: |
|---|---|
| f/1.4 | f/5.6 |
| f/2 | f/5.6 + 1/2 |
| f/2.8 | f/8 |
| f/4 | f/8 + 1/2 |
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.
What are the best lenses for the Nikon D3300?
If you’re trying to put together a decent set of lenses for your Nikon D3300, one you’re definitely going to need is an ultra-wide zoom like the Nikon 10-20mm f/4.5 – 5.6 DX. Made specifically for DX sensors like the one found on the D3300, this lens allows you to capture the big picture with ease because of its wide focal range.
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.
Why do photographers use 85mm lens for portraits?
There’s a minimal distortion when shooting with 85mm lens on crop sensor. Therefore your portraits look as natural as possible. Second reason has to do with the bokeh effect that (portrait) photographers love so much. The thing is that the background blur is a lot nicer with a 85mm lens, compared to 50mm or 35mm prime.
