I wouldn't say "advantage". Depends on what you want to achieve, because the designation "1:1" is tied to sensor size.

Hope this helps!

I'm sorry I have to contradict you, but the "1: 1" designation is independent of the sensor size, as well as any other magnification ratio.

He was right in what he said. He meant 1x was tied to sensor in terms of the relative fov. Was pretty clear he also understands that a lenses magnification is independent, but the resulting image is not.

Just made me think. Imagine if gear manufacturers tried "effective magnification" for marketing the way they do with effective focal lengths saying a lens zooms to 1800mm lol. Wouldnt fly in the macro world. We're too smart for that nonsense.
