EOS•DCS 5 Lenses: Lenses behave differently with the EOS•DCS 5
from a conventional EOS 35mm SLR. Although actual aperture values
and focal lengths remain the same, the effective image area with the
EOS•DCS 5 is only 9.2 mm x 13.8 mm compared to the conventional
35 mm format of 24 mm x 36 mm.
Since the EOS•DCS 5 image is smaller than a conventional 35 mm
frame, it must be enlarged by approximately 160% 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 5 is approximately 2.60 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 5.
NOTE: The EOS•DCS 5 is compatible with all Canon EF lenses (no restric-
tions).
