What these focal lengths actually give you on the Fujifilm X-H2
The Fujifilm X-H2 has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. A 50mm on the Fujifilm X-H2 frames like 75mm, not the "normal" view its marked number implies.
| Lens | Marked | Frames like, on the Fujifilm X-H2 |
|---|---|---|
| Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC Art | 17-40mm | 26–60mm |
| Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR | 16-55mm | 24–83mm |
| Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II | 16-55mm | 24–83mm |
| Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD | 17-70mm | 26–105mm |
| Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary | 18-50mm | 27–75mm |
