They all boil down to two things: Total magnification (including focal length, sensor size, enlargement ratio to a specific display size, viewing distance) and aperture. To say that you get the same f-stop and DoF is highly misleading! You get the same f-stop. You only get the same DoF if the enlargement ratio is the same (in other words the µ4/3 photo is displayed at half the linear size as the FF photo). | |

| Jan 7, 2018 at 21:05 | comment | added | Pedro Rolo | what do you mean by "the same depth of field"? I always thought that the 'depth of field' sort of doubles when using m43 sensors. I was expecting that my f2.8 to be deph-of-field-wise equivalent to a f5.6 on 35mm. Is this maybe not true anymore when using a lens for a bigger sensor? | |
