FoV test video Full frame (5DMrkii) vs 1.6x crop (7D)

November 1, 2010 | 0

My friend Chad sent me this link (thanks!). While most 5DMrkII owners realize the difference between a cropped sensor and the real thing, those who don’t own one usually miss why we love our 5D that much! This is especially true when shooting with a super wide lens.

Actually, there are two cases where I prefer cropped sensors: macro shots (for the same minimum focus distance, you get a bigger magnification factor) and for portrait/headshots since you can use a 50mm f1.4 as if it was a 80mm (which is a great focal range for portraits) or when using a 85L as a 135mm which make even the 135L looks bad.
