I took the little Fujifilm X-T20 24mp APS-C sensor camera that I use for my tabletop macro/micro focus stacking sessions and mounted the Nikon 200mm macro on it along with the 'bendy arm' macro flash and DIY diffuser on it to see how it would perform compared to the full-frame Nikon Z6.

What was quite noticeable was the difference in the field of view between the two. The APS-C has a field of view factor of 1.5-times that of the Nikon full-frame camera which although it has the same millimeter lens attached it has a much narrower view.

Interesting result, Gary!

Thanks, UTMike. If you look at the first post of the several flowers taken with the macro lens and then look at this post, the area of views are quite different. Not in the 1:1 ratio (magnification) but in the area covered in the view.

It truly illustrates to me the difference between the full-frame and that of the crop frame camera. There is no good or bad...just different.

The full-frame will include a bit more background along with the subject. The crop sensor will include more of the subject with less background.

What this shows me is that if I use the full-frame camera with a grasshopper I may get it all into the image with a bit of the leaf it is on. With the crop sensor camera...using the exact same lens, I may only get part of the grasshopper however what is viewed of the grasshopper will be the same ratio of magnification as the 1:1 lens.

I can see why you took the image, sippy. It's different and interesting.

Thanks, Kpmac. It appears to be quite abstract with form, colors and textures to were it separates itself from a picture of a flower.

Sippy, another item to remember. Use your other bodies.
