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 28 mm | At 75 mm | At 200 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 28 mm · 75° | 75 mm · 32° | 200 mm · 12° | f/3.5 |
| APS-C | 42 mm · 53° | 112 mm · 21° | 300 mm · 8° | f/5.2 |

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: 28 mm f/4 on full frame.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 mm | f/3.5 | 26.5 cm | 1.14 m | 12.0 m | ∞ | 7.49 m | 0.3% |
| 28 mm | f/4 | 30.4 cm | 1.33 m | 18.1 m | ∞ | 6.56 m | 0.3% |
| 28 mm | f/8 | 65.3 cm | 3.80 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.29 m | 0.1% |
| 75 mm | f/3.5 | 3.5 cm | 14.4 cm | 92.7 cm | 3.84 m | 53.6 m | 2.3% |
| 75 mm | f/4 | 3.9 cm | 16.5 cm | 1.06 m | 4.43 m | 47.0 m | 2.0% |
| 75 mm | f/8 | 7.9 cm | 33.1 cm | 2.20 m | 10.3 m | 23.5 m | 1.0% |
| 200 mm | f/3.5 | 0.4 cm | 1.9 cm | 12.6 cm | 51.5 cm | 381 m | 17.6% |
| 200 mm | f/4 | 0.5 cm | 2.2 cm | 14.4 cm | 58.9 cm | 334 m | 15.4% |
| 200 mm | f/8 | 1.0 cm | 4.3 cm | 28.8 cm | 1.18 m | 167 m | 7.7% |
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 28 mm | NPF at 28 mm, f/3.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full frame | 1/200 s | 18 s | 11 s |
| APS-C | 1/320 s | 12 s | 9 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/320 s | 11 s | 8 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/400 s | 9 s | 8 s |
