Frequently asked questions#
What is the crop factor of APS film (H)?
1.25× (diagonal 34.5 mm vs 43.3 mm for full frame).
How big is a APS film (H) sensor?
30.2 × 16.7 mm, an area of 504 mm².
Is APS film (H) good in low light?
At the same exposure it gathers 0.8 stops less total light than full frame, so expect roughly that much more visible noise at equal print size. Modern processing narrows but doesn't erase the gap.
