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 60 mm	At 190 mm	At 600 mm	Equiv. aperture (DoF)
APS-C	90 mm · 26°	285 mm · 8°	900 mm · 3°	f/6.8
APS-C (Canon)	96 mm · 25°	304 mm · 8°	960 mm · 3°	f/7.2
Micro Four Thirds	120 mm · 20°	380 mm · 7°	1200 mm · 2°	f/9.0

Depth of field & background blur#

Computed on its native APS-C format (CoC 20 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: 50 mm f/5.6 on aps-c.

Focal	Aperture	at 1 m	at 2 m	at 5 m	at 10 m	Hyperfocal	Blur @2 m
60 mm	f/4.5	4.6 cm	19.0 cm	1.23 m	5.17 m	41.0 m	1.8%
60 mm	f/8	8.2 cm	34.0 cm	2.25 m	10.6 m	23.1 m	1.0%

600 mm	f/8	—	0.2 cm	1.9 cm	8.2 cm	2.3 km	136.8%

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 60 mm	NPF at 60 mm, f/4.5
