[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 649689, member: 15805"] Yet today, it shouldn't be an issue. The idea of 'conversion factors' is an concept whose time has come and gone. Long ago. It's merely a vestige of an age where it is no longer needed. It's target market no longer exists. Us old farts understand it because we made the transition. But the young-uns today are merely confused because the need to understand it has never part of their indoctrination into photography. If you want to properly educate people today, do it right. Explain to them the difference between an FX and a DX sensor. Not some crap about "Oh, just multiply by 1.5." That's helping no one. Then, just like we did back when Kennedy what in the White House, they'd readily understand that shooting with a 645 takes a different mindset when dealing with focal lengths. It just goes to show you how brainwashed people are becoming, bowing down to Madison Avenue and getting a degree in Sound Bites. [/QUOTE]
