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 50 mm	Equiv. aperture (DoF)
APS-C	75 mm · 32°	f/3.0
APS-C (Canon)	80 mm · 30°	f/3.2
Micro Four Thirds	100 mm · 24°	f/4.0

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: 50 mm f/2 on aps-c.

Focal	Aperture	at 1 m	at 2 m	at 5 m	at 10 m	Hyperfocal	Blur @2 m
50 mm	f/2	3.0 cm	12.2 cm	77.9 cm	3.19 m	64.0 m	2.7%
50 mm	f/4	6.0 cm	24.5 cm	1.59 m	6.90 m	32.0 m	1.4%
50 mm	f/8	11.9 cm	49.6 cm	3.43 m	20.3 m	16.0 m	0.7%

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 50 mm	NPF at 50 mm, f/2
APS-C	1/80 s	7 s	4 s
APS-C (Canon)	1/80 s	6 s	4 s
Micro Four Thirds	1/100 s	5 s	3 s
