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 56 mm	Equiv. aperture (DoF)
APS-C	84 mm · 28°	f/1.8
APS-C (Canon)	90 mm · 27°	f/1.9
Micro Four Thirds	112 mm · 22°	f/2.4

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/1.2 on aps-c.

Focal	Aperture	at 1 m	at 2 m	at 5 m	at 10 m	Hyperfocal	Blur @2 m
56 mm	f/1.2	1.4 cm	5.8 cm	37.1 cm	1.50 m	134 m	5.7%
56 mm	f/4	4.7 cm	19.4 cm	1.25 m	5.29 m	40.1 m	1.7%
56 mm	f/8	9.4 cm	39.2 cm	2.63 m	13.2 m	20.1 m	0.9%

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 56 mm	NPF at 56 mm, f/1.2
APS-C	1/80 s	6 s	3 s
APS-C (Canon)	1/100 s	6 s	3 s
