  1. Hi there … using the 500 rule (500/focal length of lens) .. you said this is for FULL FRAME sensor cameras – does the same rule apply to crop sensor cameras – or do you apply the crop sensor ratio, then apply 500 rule rule? Hope that makes sense. cheers and your video and work is wicked as bro.
