With a crop factor on the Canon C200 of 1.5x, will this lens cover it?
Asked by: Eric
The Canon C200 would have a 1.6x crop factor that would translate to any lens you use on the camera. It can be an APS-C lens—such as the AstrHori 18 mm f/8 Macro Probe Lens (Canon EF), B&H # ASA21BCE—or a full-frame lens.
