Some Sensor Sums

On a 7+, the wide is 3.99mm /_f_1.8 on 1/3”, and the tele a 6.6mm /f2.8 on 1/3.2”
Angle of view is α = 2arctan( d / 2f), where d is the sensor width.

So decrease f, to get the same α you need to keep (d / 2f) constant, so d decreases.


Calculate f number like: N = f/D, where f is focal length and D aperture diameter.

So double f and 22 the area of glass needed.
But f isn’t doubled on the tele, as the sensor is smaller so doesn’t need to double to half the FOV (2x zoom) - see the above point about α.
