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 30 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 30 mm · 72° | f/2.8 |
| APS-C | 45 mm · 50° | f/4.2 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 48 mm · 48° | f/4.5 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 60 mm · 40° | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 mm | f/2.8 | 18.3 cm | 76.1 cm | 5.91 m | 139 m | 10.7 m | 0.5% |
| 30 mm | f/4 | 26.3 cm | 1.13 m | 11.8 m | ∞ | 7.53 m | 0.3% |
| 30 mm | f/8 | 55.4 cm | 2.90 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.78 m | 0.2% |
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 30 mm | NPF at 30 mm, f/2.8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 1/30 s | 17 s | 9 s |
| APS-C | 1/50 s | 11 s | 7 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/50 s | 10 s | 7 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/60 s | 8 s | 7 s |
