The size of the cropped formats is just one or two millimeters away from
what we call half frame but what film makers call full frame.
Cinematographers have been working whit this format for a century.
F 5.6 is their favorite f stop where they feel save getting everything.
Me too in the past years especially shooting mainly wides.
F 5.6 and I know I'm bring home the shot.
I'm going to miss that with full frame.
