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 60 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 90 mm · 26° | f/4.2 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 96 mm · 25° | f/4.5 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 120 mm · 20° | f/5.6 |
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: 50 mm f/2.8 on aps-c.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 mm | f/2.8 | 2.9 cm | 11.8 cm | 75.6 cm | 3.09 m | 65.8 m | 2.8% |
| 60 mm | f/4 | 4.1 cm | 16.9 cm | 1.09 m | 4.53 m | 46.1 m | 2.0% |
| 60 mm | f/8 | 8.2 cm | 34.0 cm | 2.25 m | 10.6 m | 23.1 m | 1.0% |
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 60 mm | NPF at 60 mm, f/2.8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 1/100 s | 6 s | 4 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/100 s | 5 s | 3 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/125 s | 4 s | 3 s |
