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 26 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 26 mm · 80° | f/2.8 |
| APS-C | 39 mm · 57° | f/4.2 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 42 mm · 55° | f/4.5 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 52 mm · 45° | f/5.6 |
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: 28 mm f/2.8 on full frame.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 mm | f/2.8 | 24.6 cm | 1.04 m | 10.0 m | ∞ | 8.07 m | 0.3% |
| 26 mm | f/4 | 35.6 cm | 1.60 m | 40.1 m | ∞ | 5.66 m | 0.2% |
| 26 mm | f/8 | 78.6 cm | 5.51 m | ∞ | ∞ | 2.84 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 26 mm | NPF at 26 mm, f/2.8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 1/25 s | 19 s | 11 s |
| APS-C | 1/40 s | 13 s | 8 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/40 s | 12 s | 8 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/50 s | 10 s | 8 s |
