does a f/1.8 ff lense give the same bokeh on a fullframe camera as on a crop sensor camera ?
 
Solution
The image that lens produces is identical on all sensors. The smaller the sensor is, the more the final image is cropped. You can test the result yourself and take the image with fullframe sensor and crop it to the size of crop sensor. As this question is about bokeh, you can ignore pixel count and details for the time of this excersise.

I assume that your intend to mean the same quantity of background blur, when the same lens is mounted on different format cameras? And also when the subject size is framed the same way with both cameras? (This means that you have to step further back when shooting with the crop sensor)

If the background is very far away in both situations — typically more than ten times the distance from the camera to the subject — then the amount of background blur will be the same between the cameras.

However, if the background is much closer than this, then the amount of background blur will be somewhat greater with the FF camera than the crop, but not particularly noticeably more.
