APS-C lenses on a Full Frame camera

3 years 3 months ago #705954 by Jerry Miller
Someone got a new camera for Christmas!

Would you happen to know if the APS-C lenses can be used on a full frame camera and will you get better low light performance compared to the APS-C camera?

It will work just fine — no damage to either component.
However, there will be a tunnel effect, a circle of dark,
some will call it a vignetting on the capture.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Sorry to contradict , NS,  but  not completely true  for all APS-C lenses and full-frame cameras .  Might work on a Nikon,  but not on Canon .

Jerry ,  what brand of camera & lens you talking about ?  Canon APS-C lenses ("EF-S" models)  literally do not fit  on the full-frame "EF" mount bodies .  Says so in the instruction manuals ,  at least for the Canon 5D . . .  & 6D . . . cameras . Can't speak for Sony, Pentax , Leica . . . .

Yes, my comment was restricted to Nikon — that's all I know, really. :P
