When using a full frame lens on a crop body, does the lens require more light?
If I use an f/2.8 full frame lens on a crop body, does it become an f/4.2 (*1.5)?
Answer
The amount of light passed through the lens stays the same, the lens will still be a F/2.8 lens.
Since the smaller sensor only crops out a different area from the illuminated circle, the exposure related properties of the image taking process will stay the same, regardless of the crop-factor.
