do you really gain reach with crop 1.3 or 1.6, or just lose width ???

Jan 31, 2010

can anyone settle this argument once and for all ???

so many conflicting posts, surely the science of the matter can give a definitive answer.

My main question is, will my 70-200mm really gain reach and be 260mm on my 1d mk iv,
and effectively 60mm closer to the subject than my original 5d ?????

or do I just lose 1.3 crop from full frame ???

please help
