Looks like I was able to persuade my brother to join the m43 bandwagon.

But at the same time, I feell I have violated a cardinal sin against the Equiv God. After all I have learned throughout the year, why I cannot tell the truth?

I told him that the lens are Equiv is 28mm-300mm DLSR wise!!!

Speaking as an equivalence "apologist", I have no problem with someone stating the equivalent focal length on its own, unconnected to anything else. It's a very useful way to describe the AoV range of a lens. Probably the only useful way, as no one seems to "get" degrees. My only problem would be if you said the lenses were equivalent to 28-84 f/3.5-5.6 and 80-300 f/4.0-5.6. That is a misrepresentation easily overturned by evidence.

But I feel that the representation by luddites of equivalence "apologists" as being religious in their devotion is a problem. We are the Bill Nye to your Ken Ham, and the very website you are using has acknowledged that much. The real religion here is the Church of the Holy Trinity of Exposure (In the name of the f-number, the shutter speed, and the ISO, amen).
