APS-C size image sensor vs. 35mm format

At any given focal length, α digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) with an APS-C size image sensor has a slightly smaller angle of view than a 35mm format camera, and yields an image that is about two-thirds in size. So if you are shooting with an APS-C format camera, it is useful to keep in mind a conversion factor of 1.5x. For example, a 50mm focal length is equivalent to 75mm in 35mm format.

APS-C size image sensor vs. 35mm format
  • (1) Image area with 35 mm full-frame image sensor
  • (2) Image area with APS-C type sensor
  • (3) Same focusing distance (50 mm)
  • (4) Lens
  • (5) Image sensor plane
  • (6) 47° angle of view
  • (7) 32° angle of view
