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 10 mm | At 14 mm | At 20 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 15 mm · 109° | 21 mm · 90° | 30 mm · 70° | f/6.8 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 16 mm · 107° | 22 mm · 88° | 32 mm · 68° | f/7.2 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 20 mm · 95° | 28 mm · 75° | 40 mm · 57° | f/9.0 |
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: 14 mm f/5.6 on aps-c.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mm | f/4.5 | 7.24 m | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | 1.15 m | 0.0% |
| 10 mm | f/8 | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | 64.9 cm | 0.0% |
| 14 mm | f/4.5 | 1.10 m | 17.4 m | ∞ | ∞ | 2.24 m | 0.1% |
| 14 mm | f/8 | 4.14 m | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | 1.27 m | 0.1% |
| 20 mm | f/4.5 | 45.2 cm | 2.15 m | ∞ | ∞ | 4.56 m | 0.2% |
| 20 mm | f/8 | 89.9 cm | 7.74 m | ∞ | ∞ | 2.58 m | 0.1% |
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 10 mm | NPF at 10 mm, f/4.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 1/30 s | 33 s | 27 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/30 s | 31 s | 27 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/40 s | 25 s | 26 s |

Frequently asked questions#
Is the Nikon Nikkor AF-P 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G DX VR full frame?
No — it is designed for APS-C sensors. On a full-frame body it vignettes or triggers crop mode.
What is the Nikon Nikkor AF-P 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G DX VR equivalent to on APS-C?
Its focal length is already the real value for APS-C: 10–20 mm frames like 15–31 mm on full frame.
What is the Nikon Nikkor AF-P 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G DX VR good for?
As a wide-angle zoom it suits landscapes, architecture, interiors and astrophotography.
