One limit of this table: it lists only Canon RF lenses that mount natively on the Canon EOS R100 — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.

What these focal lengths actually give you on the Canon EOS R100

The Canon EOS R100 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 R100 frames like 80mm, not the "normal" view its marked number implies.

Effective focal lengths are the marked focal length × the 1.6× sensor crop factor — the field of view, not a change in the lens itself. Aperture and depth of field are unaffected.
