Is it worth getting a full-frame camera?
Full frame cameras used to provide significantly better image quality and low light performance. Nowadays, as technology advances, these differences aren’t that big anymore. With full frame cameras, you generally get more dynamic range, which makes the post-production easier as you can preserve more details.
Can you use APS-C lens full frame camera?
Lenses. Different lenses are designed to be used with different sensor sizes. Full-frame lenses can go onto APS-C bodies, and be subject to the crop/multiplication factor. If you put an APS-C lens on a full-frame body, it either won’t work, or will only take a photo using a very small portion of the sensor.
Can you shoot in APS-C mode on a Sony full frame camera?
In this movie tutorial I will show you the consequences of shooting in APS-C mode on a Sony full-frame camera and how to set up APS-C mode in the menus so that you can move between Full Frame and APS-C mode quickly.
What is the difference between a full frame lens and APS-C?
There is no such thing as a “full frame lens” and “APS-C lens”. There are only lenses that are compatible with lens mounts. A 24mm lens on a full frame camera is still a 24mm lens on an APS-C camera. What changes is the field of view, which you correctly mentioned, but only explained partially correctly.
Can I use a 35mm lens on an APS-C camera?
When you plop it on a 35mm full frame camera like the Canon 5D series or the Sony A7 series, that lens will give you a focal length of 200mm. Now you put that lens on an APS-C camera, which has a noticeably smaller sensor than the one you’d find on a full frame camera.
Why do APS-C lenses have a crop factor?
Now you put that lens on an APS-C camera, which has a noticeably smaller sensor than the one you’d find on a full frame camera. Because the capture area is smaller, but the image the lens is passing through is identical, you get a magnification effect. To account for that, you apply a crop factor. For APS-C, this calculation’s fairly easy—typ
