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 35 mm | At 49 mm | At 70 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 35 mm · 63° | 49 mm · 48° | 70 mm · 34° | f/3.3 |

Depth of field & background blur#
Computed on its native Full frame format (CoC 30 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: 35 mm f/4 on full frame.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 mm | f/3.3 | 15.7 cm | 65.2 cm | 4.78 m | 45.8 m | 12.4 m | 0.5% |
| 35 mm | f/4 | 19.1 cm | 80.0 cm | 6.37 m | 414 m | 10.2 m | 0.4% |
| 35 mm | f/8 | 39.2 cm | 1.81 m | 181 m | ∞ | 5.14 m | 0.2% |
| 49 mm | f/3.3 | 7.9 cm | 32.4 cm | 2.13 m | 9.87 m | 24.3 m | 1.0% |
| 49 mm | f/4 | 9.5 cm | 39.4 cm | 2.64 m | 13.2 m | 20.1 m | 0.9% |
| 49 mm | f/8 | 19.2 cm | 81.1 cm | 6.55 m | 1.9 km | 10.1 m | 0.4% |
| 70 mm | f/3.3 | 3.8 cm | 15.6 cm | 1.01 m | 4.18 m | 49.6 m | 2.1% |
| 70 mm | f/4 | 4.6 cm | 18.9 cm | 1.23 m | 5.17 m | 40.9 m | 1.8% |
| 70 mm | f/8 | 9.1 cm | 38.2 cm | 2.56 m | 12.7 m | 20.5 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 35 mm | NPF at 35 mm, f/3.3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 1/80 s | 14 s | 8 s |
| APS-C | 1/100 s | 10 s | 7 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/125 s | 9 s | 6 s |
