Re: What x1.25 magnification looks like in practice

Wrong.

One does not apply crop to lens optical magnification.

1:1 is 1:1 regardless of the sensor size.

1:1 is macro magnification. 8x10" field camera has face size macro, 17x13mm has 17x13mm macro.

It is always about reproduction to the life size front of the lens and sensor/film.

1.25x is 1.25x regardless of anything else.
