![]() Have you ever used APS-C lenses on full-frame cameras? Sony does have a bunch of new lenses that look great. Nikon Z lenses for full-frame bodies Wide angle (WA) and ultra wide angle (UWA) lenses: for focal lengths less than 20mm (UWA) and focal lengths from 20mm to. If you are planning on doing a lot of video with something like the a7 IV it may actually benefit you to have some APS-C lenses on hand to better use the crop modes.įor photographers, you will probably want to stick with full-frame optics, though on high-resolution bodies you might occasionally see some advantages when you need extra super-telephoto range. Reading the entire sensor is difficult, but when you crop in the camera can do a proper downsampling from a 5K or 6K image area to create a better 4K file. The APS-C/Super 35mm modes actually have better recording quality in some cameras. Unlike photo, video doesn’t lose much when you crop in (on bodies of at least 24MP). When you are shopping for a camera you might want to consider getting a higher resolution option since you can make use of it as an APS-C camera very effectively. Depending on your needs that might be limiting. However, on the 24MP a7 III you are only getting 10MP in APS-C. That means a 24mm focal length on an APS-C sensor camera will have a (cropped) field of view of 150 compared to a full-frame. That is an example where the end result is still great. A sensor that is 50 smaller, as APS-C is, its crop factor is 1.5x. You are limited to using only the APS-C image area, which could mean that a 61MP a7R IV is only 26MP in APS-C. This means that shooting with a 50mm standard lens on an APS-C camera gives you the same field of view as shooting with an 80mm telephoto lens on a full-frame. Using a lens designed for APS-C on a full frame body is likely to lead to vignetting, but the illuminated areas of the frame will receive the same light per square mm regardless of what sensor format the lens was designed for. Photography sees a massive drop in resolution. That means that APS-C 70-350mm in APS-C mode is going to give you a similar view as a full-frame 105-525mm lens on a full-frame sensor. APS-C lenses give an effective 1.5x boost to the focal length. By cropping into the sensor you are effectively getting a more zoomed in image. They also might be helpful to have in your bag without weighing you down too much.Īnother advantage is the “zoom” range. ![]() ![]() One reason you might want to do this is that it makes it easier to upgrade from a crop body to a full-frame camera. Since they are covering a smaller format, APS-C lens designs can be more compact and with that comes a more affordable price point.
