What these focal lengths actually give you on the Canon EOS R7
The Canon EOS R7 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. A 50mm on the Canon EOS R7 frames like 80mm, not the "normal" view its marked number implies.
| Lens | Marked | Frames like, on the Canon EOS R7 |
|---|---|---|
| Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary | 16mm | 26mm |
| Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary | 10-18mm | 16–29mm |
| Canon RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM | 16-28mm | 26–45mm |
| Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM | 16mm | 26mm |
| Canon RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM | 10-18mm | 16–29mm |
| Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM | 15-30mm | 24–48mm |
