Formula

Equivalent FL = Actual FL ร— Crop Factor | Equivalent Aperture = f-stop ร— Crop Factor

Crop factor converts between sensor sizes. Full-frame = 1.0ร—. APS-C = 1.5ร— (Nikon/Sony) or 1.6ร— (Canon). Micro 4/3 = 2.0ร—.

Worked Examples

Example 1: 50mm on APS-C

Problem:50mm lens, 1.5ร— crop

Solution:50 ร— 1.5 = 75mm equivalent

Result:75mm equivalent focal length

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crop rotation and why is it important?

Crop rotation means growing different plant families in each bed each year. It prevents soil-borne disease buildup, balances nutrient depletion, and breaks pest cycles. A simple 4-year rotation: legumes (add nitrogen), then leafy greens (use nitrogen), then fruiting crops, then root vegetables. Never follow a crop with the same family.
