What these focal lengths actually give you on the Canon EOS R10
The Canon EOS R10 has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.6× crop of what each lens projects (Canon's APS-C is 1.6×, not the 1.5× used by Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm). Every focal length below therefore frames 1.6× tighter than its marked number. That matters for portraits: an 85mm frames like 136mm on the Canon EOS R10, which is tight for head-and-shoulders in a small room. A 50mm gives you the classic 80mm portrait look instead.
