Re: F/1.4 = F/1.4 on all cameras
In reply to Just Having Fun, 6 months ago

Just Having Fun wrote:

You will see some slight variations, but if you set your FF camera to F/1.4, ISO100 and 1/60th shutter speed, for the same exposure on an APS, M43, Nikon1, etc, you will need F/1.4, ISO100 and 1/60th.

Ignore the arguments about noise for now because that is a different subject.

I do understand a bit about signal to noise, I think "light gathering" is a poor choice of words. Thanks for the clarification.
