What it frames like

APS-C 24mm · 74°APS-C (Canon) 26mm · 70°
How wide 16mm sees at its wide end on each sensor it covers.
f/3.5
f/3.5 wide open, to scale against f/1.4.
  • On APS-C (Nikon F): like 24-450mm on full frame; f/3.5-6.3 gives about the depth of field of f/5.2-9.4 there.
  • On APS-C (Canon) (Canon EF): like 26-480mm on full frame; f/3.5-6.3 gives about the depth of field of f/5.6-10.1 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: it works with the camera in a APS-C crop mode, at fewer megapixels.
