I DID do some testing so hopefully this clears things up:

Below is a shot taken @23mm with the 1.4 digital teleconverter on (so approx 35mm equiv):

and one taken at 35mm:

This is slightly pedantic but I’m guessing someone will point out that the cropped 23mm shot has a wider field of view 🙂 23x1.4 is more like 32.

But I’m glad someone demonstrated the principle visually.

That DID occur to me - I actually held back a little at around 33mm if you look at the EXIF but this wasn't purely by design. I've found it's quite difficult to nail the focal lengths bang on 

Additionally, my examples should also help the OP with their initial query - as I originally stated, on a global level there really isn't much difference between native and using a crop mode (by whatever means).
