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 20 mm | At 63 mm | At 200 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 20 mm · 94° | 63 mm · 38° | 200 mm · 12° | f/3.5 |
| APS-C | 30 mm · 70° | 94 mm · 25° | 300 mm · 8° | f/5.2 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 32 mm · 68° | 101 mm · 24° | 320 mm · 8° | f/5.6 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 40 mm · 57° | 126 mm · 19° | 400 mm · 6° | f/7.0 |
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: 20 mm f/4 on full frame.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 mm | f/3.5 | 55.1 cm | 2.85 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.83 m | 0.2% |
| 20 mm | f/4 | 64.4 cm | 3.67 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.35 m | 0.1% |
| 20 mm | f/8 | 1.80 m | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | 1.69 m | 0.1% |
| 63 mm | f/3.5 | 5.0 cm | 20.6 cm | 1.33 m | 5.65 m | 37.9 m | 1.6% |
| 63 mm | f/4 | 5.7 cm | 23.5 cm | 1.53 m | 6.60 m | 33.1 m | 1.4% |
| 63 mm | f/8 | 11.4 cm | 47.5 cm | 3.28 m | 18.8 m | 16.6 m | 0.7% |
| 200 mm | f/3.5 | 0.4 cm | 1.9 cm | 12.6 cm | 51.5 cm | 381 m | 17.6% |
| 200 mm | f/4 | 0.5 cm | 2.2 cm | 14.4 cm | 58.9 cm | 334 m | 15.4% |
| 200 mm | f/8 | 1.0 cm | 4.3 cm | 28.8 cm | 1.18 m | 167 m | 7.7% |
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 20 mm | NPF at 20 mm, f/3.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 1/200 s | 25 s | 15 s |
| APS-C | 1/320 s | 17 s | 12 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/320 s | 16 s | 12 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/400 s | 12 s | 11 s |
