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.

The FF format has nothing special in it other than the fact that it was mostly used before digital photography. It is referenced only by the fact that most connoisseurs quickly get a rough impression of what an image looks like if a certain lens with a certain focal length is used.

That's all, nothing more.

The final image has nothing to do with the FF format. Absolutely no one can deduce with certainty the size of the sensor with which an image was made (without some specific info), for any image, at any magnification ratio.🙂
