– it is true that the XF50mmF1.0 at f/1.0 will create an image that gives you about the same shallow depth of field of an f/1.4 on full frame – it is true that the XF50mmF1.0 will create an image that is equivalent to 75mm on Full Frame – let’s take the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 and any Full Frame 75mm f/1.4 and here is the big advantage of APS-C: in an image with the same depth of field, an APS-C camera creates a file that has about 1 stop more light than a Full Frame camera.it’s about giving our subjects a context using details that are in the background, and that’s fundamental if you want to tell stories with your images.also, the super shallow DOF that is en vogue now in photography, you rarely find it in movies, because directors want to tell stories, and in order to do that they need details and context.Even with autofocus today, it is not very easy to nail the focus at f/1.2 full frame DOF so the reason why camera manufacturer made faster and faster lenses was not to offer always shallower DOF.the Zeiss Planar 50mm f/1.7 then became mega-famous because Stanley Kubrik used it in his movie “ Barry Lyndon” to film a scene with only candle light.It was developed for the NASA to take images in space (hence very low light) using a bit faster shutter speeds, so images don’t have too much motion blur remember the legendary Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7. the reason why camera companies started to make always faster lenses was not to offer always shallower DOF.if you have a f/1.4 full frame lens, it’s not that you will use it at f/1.4 all the time, just like if you own a Ferrari you don’t drive it all the time at 174 miles per hour (280 km/h) speed all the time just because it can drive so fast.but the real advantage is depth of field.Their FF systems are accepted by everybody and sell good so why create internal competition? Plus they’d now have to fight against Fujifilm, who in APS-C is already dominant some will ask why then Nikon, Canon and Sony don’t push their APS-C systems.but APS-C has also advantages like a faster sensor readout, which means less rolling shutter (in video or stills with electronic shutter) and faster bursts.for many the only real advantage of APS-C are size and price.This image of APS-C has a bit changed over time, especially thanks to Fujifilm, who built up a strong APS-C system also with professional cameras and lenses.Thanks to Canon and Nikon, we grew up with the idea that APS-C is mostly a less professional system, that serves mostly just a transition system to then arrive at Full Frame, where the real photographers are, people full of creamy background with rainbows and mini-ponies.The video is Italian, so if you understand Italian, watch the video below. So, out of the control of big corporation he speaks something rare to find these days: his honest and un-biased opinion ). With 2,700 subscribers only (but quickly and well deserved growing), Sony and Canon probably still did not fly that guy around at fancy and fun events nor spoil him by giving him pre-production gear to test. Well, by telling you which advantages APS-C has over Full Frame especially for event photography in low light. Italian professional photographer Andrea Jump Cimini is a man on a mission: become the most hated guy on photography forums ).
