Explanation

Super 16 12.5mm uses crop factor 2.88 and sensor width 12.5 mm. f_number = equivalent_f / 2.88. For input 1 eq f, output is 0.347222222222 f. Exposure does not change with this equivalence; the f-number still transmits the same light, and the equivalence here is depth-of-field framing only.

Method & Sensor Profile

Sensor basis: Super 16 12.5mm profile with crop factor 2.88 and sensor width 12.5 mm.
Profile reference: focal-length and aperture equivalence use the same crop model, while angle-of-view routes use the same fixed sensor width geometry.
Consistency rule: forward and reverse pages keep the same sensor profile; only the formula direction changes.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sensor assumptions are fixed for full-frame equivalent f-number to aperture f-number?

Full-frame equivalent f-number to aperture f-number is fixed to Super 16 12.5mm, crop factor 2.88, sensor width 12.5 mm.

How do I reverse eq f to f for Super 16 12.5mm?

Use the opposite-direction page for Super 16 12.5mm to convert aperture (f-number) back to equivalent aperture (f-number, dof basis) with the same sensor assumptions.

Can full-frame equivalent f-number to aperture f-number replace full lens-design simulation?

No. Full-frame equivalent f-number to aperture f-number provides framing and geometry approximations, not full optical-model behavior.

Does equivalent f-number change exposure?

No. Equivalent f-number here is for depth-of-field comparison only. Exposure (light transmission) does not change.
