Is full-frame always better than APS-C?

Full frame systems also produce more finer details because the pixels are larger, creating a better dynamic range than an APS-C sensor would with the same number of pixels. A full frame camera and lens is the best choice for wide-angle landscape images.

Is full-frame better than APS-C for video?

Full frame sensor cameras provide a wider field of view compared to Super 35mm/APS-C/Micro Four Thirds cameras. Having the wider field of view of a full frame sensor lets you achieve wider shots than what you would get with the same focal length on a camera with a smaller sensor.

Should you use full-frame lenses on crop bodies?

Full frame cameras should only use full frame lenses. Crop frame sensor lenses are designed specifically to match the smaller size of crop sensors. 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.

Should you use a full-frame lens on an APS-C camera?

Obviously you would use a full-frame lens over an APS-C lens for image quality reasons. But for those times when you want the wider coverage, there are some counterpoints to consider for mounting that full-frame lens on your APS-C body.

Why do I get more flare with a full frame lens?

Another thing to consider is that you can sometimes get more flare in your images when using a full-frame lens on an APS-C camera body. This is because an APS-C lens has a narrower field of view, so if you’re shooting close to the sun the light has no physical path through the lens.

What is the crop factor for full frame lenses?

The effect is that a 50mm full frame lens mounted on an APS-C body with a 1.5x crop factor will capture a field-of-view that is the same as a 75mm on a full frame body. For Canon, this crop factor is 1.6x. For Nikon, Sony, Pentax, it’s 1.5x.

How do camera lenses work?

Turn your lens around and you’ll see that lenses are designed with an imaging circle around the portion of the optic that mounts into your camera body. This image circle collaborates with your sensor, and as such lenses are designed to be used with specific sensor sizes.
