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 56 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 56 mm · 42° | f/1.2 |
| APS-C | 84 mm · 28° | f/1.8 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 90 mm · 27° | f/1.9 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 112 mm · 22° | f/2.4 |
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: 50 mm f/1.2 on full frame.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 56 mm | f/1.2 | 2.2 cm | 8.9 cm | 56.9 cm | 2.31 m | 87.2 m | 3.7% |
| 56 mm | f/4 | 7.2 cm | 29.9 cm | 1.96 m | 8.90 m | 26.2 m | 1.1% |
| 56 mm | f/8 | 14.5 cm | 60.9 cm | 4.42 m | 36.2 m | 13.1 m | 0.6% |
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 56 mm | NPF at 56 mm, f/1.2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 1/60 s | 9 s | 4 s |
| APS-C | 1/80 s | 6 s | 3 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/100 s | 6 s | 3 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/125 s | 4 s | 3 s |
