There is one caveat to all of this I feel compelled to mention, and that is in regards to usability. You May Not Be Able to Use Crop Lenses on Full Frame Cameras That is all! The lens sees what the lens sees, and it is the sensor that records the image. (Or in reverse, if a lens review shows a picture from a full frame body at 30 mm, and I wanted to recreate it at the exact same spot with my crop sensor, I'd shoot at 20mm).
Using a 20mm lens on a full frame camera will actually produce a much wider image (by a factor of 1.5), so instead I should look at a lens with 30mm instead to get the same exact result in the frame.
#SONY A6000 FULL FRAME UPGRADE#
Say I want to upgrade my camera in the future from a crop sensor to a full frame sensor, and I like what the viewing area is at 20mm for my shooting style (wide vistas). The factor only comes in to play when you want to make an apples-to-apples comparison on cameras in terms of the images actually shot. The reason being that the larger sensor collects more of a scene than on a crop sensor, so you'll need to shoot at a larger focal length to fill in the same area.īut why the confusion? I feel like a lot of people think that the rating on the lens means the crop factor is applied when using full frame lenses on a crop body. To recreate that exact same photo on a full frame camera (framed at the exact scale), you'll need to take a photo at 36mm. So let's say you take an image on my Sony a6000 at 24mm. The 1.5 crop factor rating is how we convert. How do we calculate the difference? With crop factors. What they capture at 24mm is actually a lot more of the scene (or, if keeping it in camera vernacular, ‘wider'). Full frame cameras, on the other hand, can capture a larger scene due to the larger sensor size. A 24mm rated photo on my camera captures a scene proportional to what the camera's sensor allows. My Sony a6000 has an APS-C sensor with a crop factor of 1.5.
If comparing a full frame rated lens with a crop sensor lens on the same crop sensor camera body, the main difference is this: nothing. Even I have to admit being messed up on it for quite some time (hence this post). The confusion comes in to play in what kind of image these two lenses will produce at comparable focal lengths, as the discussion of camera “crop factors” is often used interchangebly with lenses as much as they are for sensors.
There is a lot of confusion on the performance difference between lenses if used on a specific camera body, especially with regards to using full frame lenses on crop sensor cameras (like the Sony a6000, my camera, which uses a “crop” APS-C sensor).Ĭameras like mine take lenses designed for crop sensors (naturally), but also take lenses that are rated for full frame cameras (like the Sony a7iii).

#SONY A6000 FULL FRAME PROFESSIONAL#
This makes the A7C more expensive than the Sony A7 III and Panasonic Lumix S5, though the video features could well justify the cost for vloggers and YouTubers looking to up their game to professional quality. You can also get the kit that includes the new FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens for a slightly higher price of $2,100 / £2,150 / AU$3,899. It'll be available in October in two different versions – there'll be a black option or a two-tone black/silver model to choose from, with both bodies costing $1,800 / £1,900 / AU$3,299. Naturally, the combination of this size and the A7C's performance makes it pretty pricey. For a full-frame camera with IBIS, that's extremely light, and makes it about two-thirds the size and weight of a Sony A7 III when the latter is coupled with an FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens. The FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 weighs only 167g, bringing the combined camera and lens weight to only 676g. Like the latter, the A7C is also launching with a new small, lightweight lens that complements its size.
