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 46 mm | At 150 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Four Thirds | 28 mm · 75° | 92 mm · 26° | 300 mm · 8° | 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% |
| 46 mm | f/3.5 | 4.7 cm | 19.4 cm | 1.25 m | 5.26 m | 40.3 m | 1.8% |
| 46 mm | f/4 | 5.4 cm | 22.2 cm | 1.43 m | 6.14 m | 35.3 m | 1.6% |
| 46 mm | f/8 | 10.9 cm | 44.9 cm | 3.05 m | 16.6 m | 17.7 m | 0.8% |
| 150 mm | f/3.5 | 0.4 cm | 1.7 cm | 11.3 cm | 46.0 cm | 429 m | 20.1% |
| 150 mm | f/4 | 0.5 cm | 2.0 cm | 12.9 cm | 52.6 cm | 375 m | 17.6% |
| 150 mm | f/8 | 0.9 cm | 3.9 cm | 25.9 cm | 1.05 m | 188 m | 8.8% |
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 | 1/320 s | 18 s | 16 s |
