Q: 6. f0.95 APS-C is roughly f1.5 at Full-Frame? (angle of view changes obviously).

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens for Canon RF is designed for the APS-C sensor. It would not cover a full-frame sensor. When used on a Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital camera, you would have to use the camera's [Cropping/aspect ratio] setting under the Camera Setting menu in the camera. The aperture indicated is the correct aperture for the APS-C sensor size, though the perceived depth-of-field would be the equivalent of a f/1.5 lens. While the focal length is correct, if you are trying to find the full-frame equivalent focal length, it would be equivalent to a 52.8mm lens covering a full-frame 36x24mm size sensor.
