Q. How do you convert medium format focal length to 35mm?
For those coming from a digital world to test the film waters with medium format cameras, the 35mm crop factor for medium format lenses and film types can be confusing when a 50mm lens can be ultra-wide and a 90mm lens is considered a normal lens….6 x 6 Crop Factor = 0.55.
| 6 x 6 Lens | 35mm Equivalent |
|---|---|
| 200mm | 110mm |
Q. What is 35mm equivalent on crop sensor?
A 35mm lens on a camera with a crop factor of 1.6x, has a 35mm equivalent of 56mm. A 50mm lens on a camera with a crop factor of 1.6x, has a 35mm equivalent of 80mm.
Q. What size is equivalent to 35mm?
35mm film has a standardized frame size of 24mm x 36mm (864 sq. mm of film surface). An advantage of 35mm is because it’s smaller.
Q. How do you find the focal length of a 35mm equivalent?
Multiply the focal length printed on the lens by 1.5 to obtain the 35mm-equivalent focal length of a lens mounted on a camera with an APS-C sensor. For example, if you mount a 50mm lens on an APS-C sensor camera such as the ILCE-6000, you’ll get the same view as a 75mm lens on a full-frame camera (50mm x 1.5 = 75mm).
Q. Can you use 35mm lenses on medium format?
I have a sweet collection of Nikon full frame lenses that span from 28mm on the wide end to a 105mm telephoto. These optics work great on both my 35mm film cameras and the digital bodies as well.
Q. Does crop-sensor affect f stop?
No, f/stop does not vary with sensor size. Nor does focal length vary with sensor size. The lens remains totally unaffected by the sensor. HOWEVER, the field of view that the cropped sensor can see and capture is seriously affected in the smaller sensor.
Q. Does f stop change on crop-sensor?
Aperture, expressed as f/x is not changed since f is not changed. The only effect the crop factor has is to give you an angle of view on your crop sensor that would be roughly equivalent to that of a 75mm on a full frame sensor.
Q. What is 35mm in lens?
A 35mm lens is a lens with a focal length of 35mm (millimeters). Focal length is the length from the optical center of the lens to the camera’s sensor, but that’s not super important to remember. The 35mm is an extremely popular lens choice and a crucial tool for any photographer/cinematographer.
Q. What is the difference between a 35mm and 50mm lens?
While a 50mm prime lens will give you a field of view of just under 40 degrees, the 35mm prime lens gives you 54.4 degrees — significantly wider.
Q. Which is a 6×7 equivalent focal length in 35mm?
Consider the 35mm camera using 85mm f/1.8 for subject isolation in portraits, the 6×7 portrait lens is often a 150mm f/4. Note that Bronica GS-1 was built to be a lighter 6×7 than Pentax and Mamiya. All lenses are leaf with maximum speed of 1/500 and the lenses are slower f stop which keeps the lenses lighter and smaller.
Q. How big is a 6×7 lens compared to a 50mm lens?
B&H Photo has a LENS COMPARISON CHART for Mamiya 6X7 lenses. It’s difficult since the aspect ratio of the format are different. I use a schneider 110mm with 6×7 and it *feels* to be about 55mm equiv. 90mm feels wider than 50mm.
Q. Which is the normal lens for 35 mm film?
Even that is a loose definition, because for many, 35 mm is the lens they “normally” use for 35 mm film, 75 mm and 105 mm respectively. Part of using a camera is learning to “speak” its language, which includes using the controls without thinking and choosing a lens.
Q. Why are RB / RZ lenses heavier than GS-1 lenses?
Since lens weight was brought up, it’s also worth remembering that RB/RZ lenses are heavier out of necessity than an otherwise 100% comparable lens for a GS-1, Pentax 67, or even Mamiya 7. The reason for that is that the RB/RZ lenses have to cover 7×7 at a minimum, while the others only have to cover 6×7. Me too.
