Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 0.79 to get the full-frame field of view. Angles are for a rectilinear lens focused at infinity.

Equivalent aperture#

Exposure is identical at the same f-number on any format; equivalence only describes depth of field and total light.

Diffraction & pixel pitch#

With 5.31 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/7.9. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/4.3 and f/8; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

Night-sky exposure limits#

Longest exposure before stars trail. The NPF rule accounts for pixel pitch and is stricter than the classic 500 rule — use it for pin-sharp stars on high-resolution sensors.

Handheld shutter speed guide#

The reciprocal rule uses the equivalent focal length. High-resolution sensors may need one stop faster than this for pixel-sharp results.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Fujifilm GFX 50R?

The Fujifilm GFX 50R has a crop factor of 0.79× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 54.8 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Fujifilm GFX 50R sensor?

43.8 × 32.9 mm (Medium format 44 × 33 mm), an area of 1441 mm² — 167% of full frame.

Is the Fujifilm GFX 50R full frame?

No — its sensor is larger than full frame (medium format).

How many megapixels does the Fujifilm GFX 50R have?

51.4 megapixels (8,256 × 6,192 pixels), enough for a 28 × 21 inch print at 300 DPI.

What lens mount does the Fujifilm GFX 50R use?

The Fujifilm GFX 50R uses the Fujifilm G-mount (flange distance 26.70 mm).

How long can I expose the night sky with the Fujifilm GFX 50R?

With a 25 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 10 s.
