A-6 Specifications
EOS•DCS 1 Lenses: Lenses behave differently with the EOS•DCS 1
from a conventional EOS 35mm SLR. Although actual aperture values
and focal lengths remain the same, the effective image area with the
EOS•DCS 1 is only 18.4 mm x 27.6 mm compared to the conven-
tional 35 mm format of 24 mm x 36 mm.
Since the EOS•DCS 1 image is smaller than a conventional 35 mm
frame, it must be enlarged by approximately 25% to achieve the same
output size (in terms of image height) on screen or on hard copy.
Under this condition, the “effective” focal length of any lens used with
the EOS•DCS 1 is approximately 1.3 times greater than when used
with a conventional EOS 35 mm SLR. Use the following chart as a
quick reference for effective focal lengths of EF lenses when used with
the EOS•DCS 1.
NOTE: The EOS•DCS 1 is compatible with all Canon EF lenses (no restrictions).
This EF lens . . .
. . . performs approximately like this lens.
