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 14 mm | At 25 mm | At 45 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Four Thirds | 28 mm · 75° | 50 mm · 47° | 90 mm · 27° | f/7.0 |
Depth of field & background blur#
Computed on its native Four Thirds format (CoC 15 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/4 on four thirds.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 mm | f/3.5 | 56.8 cm | 2.97 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.75 m | 0.2% |
| 14 mm | f/4 | 66.4 cm | 3.86 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.28 m | 0.1% |
| 14 mm | f/8 | 1.90 m | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | 1.65 m | 0.1% |
| 25 mm | f/3.5 | 16.5 cm | 68.3 cm | 5.07 m | 56.3 m | 11.9 m | 0.5% |
| 25 mm | f/4 | 18.9 cm | 78.7 cm | 6.19 m | 232 m | 10.4 m | 0.5% |
| 25 mm | f/8 | 38.8 cm | 1.77 m | 110 m | ∞ | 5.23 m | 0.2% |
| 45 mm | f/3.5 | 5.0 cm | 20.3 cm | 1.31 m | 5.53 m | 38.6 m | 1.7% |
| 45 mm | f/4 | 5.7 cm | 23.3 cm | 1.50 m | 6.46 m | 33.8 m | 1.5% |
| 45 mm | f/8 | 11.4 cm | 47.0 cm | 3.21 m | 18.1 m | 16.9 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 14 mm | NPF at 14 mm, f/3.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/100 s | 18 s | 16 s |
