Re: Focal length APSC and FF

Hi,

Yes, I used to use MF and LF and learned to simply accept the differences between the formats.  I just can't wait to see how people in these forums will deal with a fractional crop/equivalence factor if and when Fuji release their rumored medium format camera.  If they use the 33X44mm Sony sensor it'll have a crop factor of about 0.8 (FF).  Lenses will need to be about 1.25X FF FL to achieve the same (FF) FOV.  And then the equivalence police will be out in force talking about the FOVs, the equivalent apertures and the DOF almost as if the cameras will have interchangeable purposes.  It will be utterly tedious.  Better to just accept different systems as they are.

Cheers, Rod
