Crop sensors make a lens behave like a longer one; this finds the equivalent.

The math behind it

equivalent focal length = actual x crop factor. APS-C is about 1.5x, Micro Four Thirds 2x.

Worked Example

A 35 mm lens on a 1.5x crop sensor behaves like 52.5 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it change the actual focal length?

No - only the angle of view; the lens itself is unchanged.
