Aperture (f-number) to Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis) for Medium format 53.4x40
1 Aperture (f-number) = 0.67 Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis) ยท camera-equivalence calculation for Medium format 53.4x40
Direct Answer
On Medium format 53.4x40, f/5.6 corresponds to about f/3.752 on a full-frame depth-of-field basis
This result uses the fixed Medium format 53.4x40 sensor profile (crop factor 0.67).
For 1.4 Aperture (f-number), this corresponds to 0.938 Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis) on Medium format 53.4x40.

SwitchExplanation
Formula: equivalent_f = f_number x 0.67. Why: this page keeps Medium format 53.4x40 fixed, so crop factor and sensor width stay explicit for every calculation.
Medium format 53.4x40: a sensor profile with crop factor 0.67 and sensor width (horizontal) 53.4 mm, used as the fixed framing basis for this page.
Aperture (f-number): a camera-equivalence quantity in this family that depends on the selected crop model.
Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis): a camera-equivalence quantity in this family that depends on the selected crop model.
This route is useful when you know the actual lens aperture on Medium format 53.4x40 and want the full-frame depth-of-field equivalent.
This page is sensor-profile dependent rather than universal because camera equivalence changes with sensor geometry (Medium format 53.4x40).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sensor assumptions are fixed for aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number?
Aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number is fixed to Medium format 53.4x40, crop factor 0.67, sensor width 53.4 mm.
How do I reverse f to eq f for Medium format 53.4x40?
Use the opposite-direction page for Medium format 53.4x40 to convert equivalent aperture (f-number, dof basis) back to aperture (f-number) with the same sensor assumptions.
Can aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number replace full lens-design simulation?
No. Aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number provides framing and geometry approximations, not full optical-model behavior.
Does equivalent f-number change exposure?
No. Equivalent f-number here is for depth-of-field comparison only. Exposure (light transmission) does not change.
