Full Frame (FF) or APS-C with Focal Reducer (SB) (LT)?

Challenge #28 in the Technology Enabling Art series. Hosted by ProfHankD.

Challenge has finished

Let's compare images shot using either a Full-Frame (FF) sensor or an APS-C sensor behind a "Speed Booster" (SB) or "Lens Turbo" (LT) focal reducer which approximates the FF view. Make sure you include (FF), (SB), or (LT) in the title to indicate which you used to capture the image. Have good APS-C sensors with SB and LT made FF sensors difficult to justify?

Submissions:

Thursday, 27th June, 2013 – Wednesday, 3rd July, 2013 (GMT)

Voting:

Thursday, 4th July, 2013 – Wednesday, 10th July, 2013 (GMT)

Processing rules:

Only modest adjustments to what was captured with a single press of the shutter button.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Each entry must have (FF), (SB), or (LT) in its title to indicate which it was captured with. FF means an approximately a 36x24mm sensor; SB is "Speed Booster" and LT is "Lens Turbo" using an APS-C sensor.
If you own more than one of these alternatives, you are strongly encouraged to submit the same scene captured using each of the competing methods -- that will make the comparison easier.
