Understanding Crop Factor

Crop factor is the ratio between a full-frame sensor (36×24mm) and a smaller sensor. It affects the field of view but not the actual focal length of the lens.

A 50mm lens on an APS-C camera (1.5x crop) gives the same field of view as a 75mm lens on full frame.

Equivalent aperture affects depth of field comparisons. A 50mm f/1.8 on APS-C has similar DoF to a 75mm f/2.7 on full frame.
