And also, I dont know why you need to keep repeating "nothing special about ff" as if Im a ff purist.

That explains why you are so obsessed with saying something wrong in principle.

FF cameras really offer exceptional picture quality, and over time, an entire accessory industry has developed around them. But that has nothing to do with the subject.

The 24x36mm format for cameras appeared more than 100 years ago, being derived from a video format, related to the mechanical and optical constraints of that time. It could have been any other dimension if it had been able to impose itself on the market.

24x36mm size means nothing relative to the magnification ratio, by definition.

The specialized industry invests a lot in FF equipment, and the results are exceptional. So it's great to be a FF purist.

By the way, I made the first images under a microscope using a Nikon film camera (so, FF) in 1987, using a special adapter made by me personally with a lathe.
