Specifications#
Equivalent focal length on different cameras#
Field of view and depth-of-field equivalence when this lens is used on bodies with different sensor sizes (natively or via an adapter).
| Camera format | At 24 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 36 mm · 61° | f/5.2 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 38 mm · 58° | f/5.6 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 48 mm · 49° | f/7.0 |
Depth of field & background blur#
Computed on its native APS-C format (CoC 20 µm). “Blur @2 m” is the size of an out-of-focus point at infinity, as a percentage of frame width, with the subject at 2 m — a simple bokeh index. Full table: 24 mm f/4 on aps-c.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 mm | f/3.5 | 23.5 cm | 99.4 cm | 9.09 m | ∞ | 8.44 m | 0.4% |
| 24 mm | f/4 | 27.0 cm | 1.16 m | 12.4 m | ∞ | 7.39 m | 0.3% |
| 24 mm | f/8 | 57.0 cm | 3.02 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.71 m | 0.2% |
Handheld & night-sky limits#
NPF assumes typical 20–24 MP sensors (≈6 µm pixels on full frame, ≈3.9 µm on APS-C, ≈3.3 µm on Micro Four Thirds).
| Body | Min. handheld shutter (longest focal) | 500 rule at 24 mm | NPF at 24 mm, f/3.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 1/40 s | 14 s | 10 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/40 s | 13 s | 10 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/50 s | 10 s | 9 s |

Frequently asked questions#
Is the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L full frame?
No — it is designed for APS-C sensors. On a full-frame body it vignettes or triggers crop mode.
What is the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L equivalent to on APS-C?
Its focal length is already the real value for APS-C: 24 mm frames like 37 mm on full frame.
What is the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L good for?
As a standard prime it suits street, documentary, everyday and low-light shooting.
