  • I put a 50mm lens on a Canon APS-C crop camera (1.6x crop) and take a picture


Going by the 1.6x crop, I understand the fields of view of these two photos would be the same, due to the effective focal length of the 50mm lens on a crop body being 80mm.


Would these two photos be identical (i.e. depth of field, perspective etc.)?
