Depth of field and crop factor misconceptions (FF and MFT equivalence)

Share

“Biscuits Alive” posted that video where he explains in detail how the FF and MFT equivalence works. He writes:

There is still a lot of incorrect information out there about –
-Depth of field
-Crop sensor vs full frame cameras
-Speedboosters
-Light refraction

And it seems many people who profess to know all about their camera gear, don’t actually fully know some of the basics regarding-
-Aperture
-Focal length
-The focus plane
-Crop factor
-The Circle of confusion
-ISO
-Image noise

So I decided to talk about all of the above, and I drew some simple illustrations for you, and also took a few photos to help show what is actually happening to the light as it travels through our cameras lens.
