In fact every photo in this article was taken with a canon 50mm f 1 8 lens and either a canon xs or canon 60d which are both cropped sensor cameras.
50mm 1 4 on full frame vs crop.
But i thought your main question was about the difference between the fov of the 50mm lens on a crop camera versus the fov of the 50mm lens on a ff camera which is why i answered what i did.
On a full frame the fov and dof of the this lens will be just what it states.

Today i d like to showcase a few of my favorite uses of a 50mm lens on a cropped sensor camera.
The lens doesn t magically change to a different lens.
However does it mean that the much smaller olympus lens is capable of transmitting the same amount of light.
As you can see when shooting at the same focal length on a full frame vs.
Arri alexa lf.
Canon 5d and 1d.
For example a 50mm lens on crop provides a similar view to an 85mm lens on full frame.
Lastly is dof although this is actually a myth i am going to touch on this a bit when we get to the pictures.
Therefore it would be incorrect to say that the 50mm on aps c is same as 75mm 50mm x 1 6 crop factor on a fx camera.
They are comparable when you stop the 85mm down to f 2 8.
If you want to see what a 50mm lens would look like on a full frame but only have a crop sensor check out the 35mm.
But the bokeh is smaller a 50mm can t give you as much as an 85mm both at f 1 8 can.
For example if you compare the nikkor 50mm f 1 4g lens with say the olympus 25mm f 1 4 50mm equivalent field of view relative to full frame both will yield similar brightness at f 1 4.
A 50mm f 1 4 is still a 50 f 1 4 whether it is mounted to a full frame or a crop sensor camera.
Third a crop sensor has a crop of 1 6x canon or 1 5x nikon.
The 50mm prime lens.
I am not a perfect lens or camera reviewer.
This means if you put a 50mm lens on a full frame its focal length is 50mm.
Canon 50mm 1 4 on croped vs full frame.
However on a crop sensor the actual focal length for a 50mm is 80mm canon or 75mm nikon.
What changes is the field of view and the dof between the two sensor sizes.
When it comes to aperture which of these lenses has the advantage.
Before we look into the best lens by camera type full frame vs crop and photography genre let s do an overall comparison of the 35mm vs.
50mm vs 35mm overall comparison 1.
Hope that this video will help you.
Sensor size 22x12mm 26x15mm aprox these have a crop factor of around 1 4 to 1 5 as compared to full frame cameras although sensor size varies slightly in this group.
Aprox 36x24mm 38 21mm.
I just want to show you my result of shooting the different gears i have.
