What it frames like

Its full-frame-equivalent focal length on the sensor it was made for.

How wide 18mm sees on each sensor it covers.

f/6.3 wide open, to scale against f/1.4.

On APS-C (Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z): like 27mm on full frame; f/6.3 gives about the depth of field of f/9.4 there.
On Micro Four Thirds (Micro Four Thirds): like 36mm on full frame; f/6.3 gives about the depth of field of f/12.6 there.
On the larger-sensor bodies of Nikon Z, Sony E: it works with the camera in a APS-C crop mode, at fewer megapixels.
