Equivilant Focal Lenghts
Jul 21, 2016 20:14:26 #
I took a photo with my Lumix lx100. Great detail in the image.
Light room indicates it was shot at 19.9 mm focal length. I'm curious as to what focal length that might be equivalent to on my Sony a6000. Any one have any idea?
Thanks

You will need to find your camera's sensor size to plug it into the app.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 Digital Camera is a 4/3 camera, with a crop factor of 2; a 19.9mm lens has the field of view of a 39.8mm lens.

you are converting it to a full frame. Sony a6000 has a crop factor of 1.5 ( 29.85 mm ) Roughly 30 mm for the a6000

Since 19.9mm is a 4/3 measurement, it would be 39.8mm on FF. Then take 39.8/1.5 and that would yield a 26.53mm focal length on a Sony APS-c.
So 26.53/19.9= 1.33x factor

It is not a good way to try to compare focal lengths in this case. The difference between the cameras is the sensor size or crop factor as some also call it. That is the factor that gives you the difference in the captured image, not the lens.

I understand that, nevertheless, there is a focal length in the Sony that would capture that same image from the same distance. I just wonder what focal length that would be.

keep in mind that the aspect ratio is different as well. 4:3 vs 3:2 which also affects the FOV (IMHO)

wouldn't you multiply the fullframe mm of 39.8 by 1.5 to get 59.7??
