50mm on aps-c vs 85mm on fullframe

[zerotiu]

I know the focal range will be equal : 50mm+ apsc = 80 , 85+ff = 85
but what I want to ask is : does the size of the image remain the same?

I'm confused about the minimal distance of these lensese.
for 50mm is 0.45m and 85mm is 0.85mm

I took this photo below using 50mm+550d . Can I take the same photo and angle without cropping with 85mm+fullframe ? :

thx

If you place a ff camera with a 85mm lens and a 1.6 crop camera with 50mm side by side, they will frame the subject pretty much the same, but the FF camera should have a slightly larger image. Also note that the mm rating of a lens can be inaccurate at close distances.

Obviously, you cannot be closer than the MFD of the particular lens you select. Different brands and models will have different MFD's.

ah..

so.. if I want the same image result, compared to the 50mm+apsc, I have to step back if I use 85mm+ff.

I love low angle very much, this means I have to say bye2 low angle? :-[ , or I can hope than 5d3 has articulated screen..

Only a few inches, the APS-C is 80mm versus 85mm for the FF. They will likely be very similar, you can't tell without testing the exact lenses. My APS-C is sold now, so I can't compare.

The minimum focus distance on the 85mm f1.8 is the only thing that I don't like about the lens. If anyone ever asks me if they should buy one I always tell them to budget for a 12mm extension ring - something that I find myself using with my 85 a lot. The 50mm f1.4 has a little more barrel distortion than the 85mm f1.8 which even shows on a 1.6X crop body. The ACR RAW converters in the latest versions of Photoshop and Lighroom have a very good lens correction options and I would recommend using them if you are shooting with the otherwise good 50mm f1.4.
