You and I, I believe, understand the ins and outs here. We know the definition, we know it is f/2.8 and that it acts in some ways as a f/4.2 would on full frame. For people first discovering that it acts as a 4.2 in those ways, it looks like a duck, it sounds like a duck, it is a duck. I agree that there shouldn't be sides, but there are. So do we want simply insist to people that this duck (in their eyes) is a swan (I think they'll still have doubts), or should we also explain why this swan looks like a duck?

Ugly Ducking?
