Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.52 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.

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. (NPF needs a known resolution and is omitted here.)

9 mm (14 mm eq.)36.4 s

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 Nikon D1H?

The Nikon D1H has a crop factor of 1.52× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 28.4 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Nikon D1H sensor?

23.7 × 15.6 mm (APS-C), an area of 370 mm² — 43% of full frame.

Is the Nikon D1H full frame?

No — its sensor is APS-C, which is 2.3× smaller in area than full frame.

What lens mount does the Nikon D1H use?

The Nikon D1H uses the Nikon F (flange distance 46.50 mm).

How long can I expose the night sky with the Nikon D1H?

With a 13 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s.
