f/1.4
f/1.4 wide open, to scale against f/1.4.
  • On APS-C (Nikon F, Pentax K): like 45mm on full frame; f/1.4 gives about the depth of field of f/2.1 there.
  • On APS-C (Canon) (Canon EF): like 48mm on full frame; f/1.4 gives about the depth of field of f/2.2 there.
  • Not usable on the larger-sensor bodies of Canon EF: they have no crop mode (and Canon's EF-S lenses don't even mount on them), so it is for APS-C bodies only.
  • On the larger-sensor bodies of Nikon F, Pentax K: it works with the camera in a APS-C crop mode, at fewer megapixels.
