What is a 17mm lens good for?

This lens is convenient for taking pictures during travel or vacation due to its convenient small size. This 17mm lens gives you the ability to take pictures of images as you see them, without having to worry about adjusting a zoom length.

Is 17mm wide angle?

So anything wider than 50mm (full frame) or 35mm (APS-C) is considered a wide angle lens.

What is 18mm focal length?

The shorter your focal length, the wider your angle of view will be – so an 18mm lens will give you a wider image than the same lens zoomed to 55mm. As a basic rule of thumb, most landscape images are shot on a wide angle lens, as this allows you fit the most of the scene in.

What is 16mm on a crop sensor?

A 16mm lens on a crop sensor camera will look the same as a 24mm lens on a full frame camera (if you have a 1.5x crop sensor, canon’s crop sensors are 1.6x)

Is 24mm too wide?

For many people, 24mm is too wide, especially if the lens is not particularly good at holding lines rectilinear. My personal preference is for the widest street work lens to be 35mm, though many use 28mm.

Is 24mm wide enough?

24mm (Still Good But Getting Narrower) Again, this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule and you can take spectacular landscape photographs at 24mm, but you’re no longer ultra wide and may start losing the scale and grandeur of some large scenes. Images tend to flatten out the more you zoom in.

How far will a 400mm lens reach?

Field of view with a 400mm lens on a 1.6 crop camera (Digital Rebel,XT or 20D) from 350 feet away would be 19.7 x 13.1 feet. Field of view from a full-frame camera (5D) would be 31.5 x 21 feet. if you have a 1.4x, you should be able to reach.

Can you put a full-frame lens on a crop sensor?

Full frame lenses work just fine on crop sensor cameras because the image coverage is 35mm, which is more than enough to cover the crop camera’s approximate 24mm sensor.

Is 24mm wide enough for astrophotography?

For simple non-tracked landscape astrophotography and nightscape images, you will generally want a wide angle lens. I usually suggest something 24mm or shorter on an APS-C camera or 35mm or shorter on a Full Frame Camera. Finally, about 16mm and shorter on a 4/3 camera will do best.

Is 24mm too wide for video?

A lens around 24mm (manufacturers vary their sizes around this size) is great for those wider, story telling shots. People often wonder which lens is closest to what the human eye sees. That said, 24mm on a super 35 crop is fairly close in terms of magnification to what the human eye sees.

What’s the normal focal length of a 35mm camera?

For 35mm film photography, the 24mm by 36mm rectangle of the film frame has a diagonal measurement of about 43mm. Thus, by this definition, a normal lens for full-frame 35mm is 43mm. So, why is a 50mm lens the most common normal lens focal length for this format?

Which is an example of a focal length?

In the next focal length example, the camera is positioned at varying distances with different lenses, as indicated in each photo: The lens mm number refers to the focal length or magnification. This can also be casually referred to as the lens size.

What is the magnification of a 50 mm lens?

It is accepted that the human eye has a magnification of 1. It is also generally accepted that a lens with a focal length of 50 mm provides a very close field of view of the vision of our eye, hence having also a magnification of 1. In fact, and for the purists, this focal length is 43 mm.

What is the FOV of a 14mm lens?

Field-of-view (also known as FOV) Lens Focal Length FOV (Angles in degrees) FOV (Angles in degrees) FOV (Angles in degrees) FOV (Angles in degrees) 12mm 112.6 90.0 122.0 66.9 14mm 104.3 81.2 114.2 59.1 15mm 100.4 77.3 110.5 55.7 17mm 93.3 70.4 103.7 50.0
