24.89 × 18.66 mm

The 24.89×18.66 mm frame used in cinema, with a crop factor near 1.4.

Fits a great deal into one frame; edges stretch, so keep people away from the corners.

Same field of view elsewhere

A different sensor needs a different focal length to frame the same scene.

How to read this

  • Focal length alone does not fix the angle of view — the same 50 mm sees less on a smaller sensor.
  • The crop factor is the sensor diagonal divided into the 35 mm diagonal; multiply the focal length by it for the equivalent.
  • Longer lenses magnify shake. Handheld, a shutter speed faster than one over the equivalent focal length is the usual rule.
  • A wider angle is not purely more scene: the edges stretch, so faces belong near the middle.

Frequently asked questions

Q. What angle of view does 10 mm give on Super 35?

114.5° diagonally, 102.4° horizontally and 86° vertically.

Q. What is 10 mm in 35 mm terms?

14 mm — the focal length multiplied by this sensor’s crop factor of 1.39.

Q. What is this combination good for?

It falls in the ultra-wide group. Standing two metres away, it frames 4.98 metres across.

Q. How do I get the same framing on another camera?

A different sensor needs a different focal length; the equivalent combinations are listed further down this page.
