There's a lot more to a photo than the exposure, Thomas. The exposure is the density of the light falling on the sensor, whereas the relevent measure between formats, in terms of noise, is the total amount of light falling on the sensor: Total Light = Exposure x Effective Sensor Area.However, DOF, motion blur, and highlights all serve to constrain what the ideal exposure is for a photo, and to state that "1/125 at f4 at ISO 400 is the same thing on any camera" simply because it results in the same exposure shows a profound lack of understanding of the role that exposure plays in a photograph.
Thank you very much for your answers. You know your stuff and you answered my question perfectly.
I'm pleased you found my responses helpful, and thank you for your kind words!
I guess the short answer is that the aperture number on the lens is related to the lens and not the body or the sensor.
Exactly.
Therefore the "affective" focal length, aperture, (and ISO?) should be twice the displayed number on an mFT whether it is a FF lens or an mFT lens.
I prefer to say "equivalent" rather than "effective".
"Effective" should most clearly be reserved for (actual, from the thin-lens formula) lens Focal Length multiplied by ( 1 + M / P ), where M is the Image Magnification and P is Pupillary Magnification.
An excellent reference exists here: http://www.panohelp.com/thinlensformula.html
Thus, 50mm f/2 1/200 ISO 100 on mFT is equivalent to 100mm f/4 1/200 ISO 800 on FF (note that the focal length and f-ratio double, the shutter speed remains the same, but the ISO quadruples).
I am indeed a beginner and this is not my job but as you said it is sad that pro photographers stop studying after they start making money. You may take good pictures without knowing all this but you will take MUCH BETTER pictures if you know how the physics of your lens and your camera perform.
A driver doesn't have to know a thing about how a car works to drive it well, and a mechanically ignorant driver can be worlds better than a mechanically inclined driver. However, when choosing which car to use for a particular purpose, being mechanically inclined has its uses.
