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 70 mm | At 157 mm | At 350 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 105 mm · 23° | 236 mm · 10° | 525 mm · 5° | f/6.8 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 112 mm · 22° | 251 mm · 10° | 560 mm · 4° | f/7.2 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 140 mm · 18° | 314 mm · 8° | 700 mm · 4° | 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: 85 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70 mm | f/4.5 | 3.3 cm | 13.9 cm | 89.2 cm | 3.68 m | 55.7 m | 2.4% |
| 70 mm | f/8 | 5.9 cm | 24.7 cm | 1.61 m | 7.05 m | 31.4 m | 1.4% |
| 157 mm | f/4.5 | 0.6 cm | 2.6 cm | 17.3 cm | 70.4 cm | 280 m | 12.6% |
| 157 mm | f/8 | 1.1 cm | 4.7 cm | 30.8 cm | 1.25 m | 158 m | 7.1% |
| 350 mm | f/4.5 | 0.1 cm | 0.5 cm | 3.3 cm | 13.9 cm | 1.4 km | 70.2% |
| 350 mm | f/8 | 0.2 cm | 0.8 cm | 5.9 cm | 24.7 cm | 783 m | 39.5% |
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 70 mm | NPF at 70 mm, f/4.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 1/500 s | 5 s | 4 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/500 s | 4 s | 4 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/640 s | 4 s | 4 s |
