Crop factor vs Magnification

[h=2]Magnification factor[/h]The crop factor is sometimes referred to as "magnification factor", "focal length factor" or "focal length multiplier". This usage reflects the observation that lenses of a given focal length seem to produce greater magnification on crop-factor cameras than they do on full-frame cameras. This is an advantage in, for example, bird photography, where photographers often strive to get the maximum "reach". A camera with a smaller sensor can be preferable to using a teleconverter, because the latter affects the f-number of the lens, and can therefore degrade the performance of the autofocus.
A given lens casts the same image no matter what camera it is attached to. The extra "magnification" occurs when the image is enlarged more to produce output (print or screen) that matches a standard output size. That is, the magnification, as usually defined from subject to focal plane, is unchanged, but the system magnification from subject to final output is increased.

If you are going to quote something, be sure to include the web site link. Otherwise it's plagiarism.

Please keep in mind the other thread was closed which means the topic is supposed to be ended.

This isn't about the topic. This is about me being tired of getting insulted or accused of misinforming when I'm actually correct in what I say. It isn't the first time either.

Wikipedia btw, open source.

Where is the link? Citing specific info is like including the bibliography in a school paper. And speaking of schools, citing a reference is done like this:

Love your photos.

That's the current city hall or townhall right around the corner here. It dates back to 16something and used to be a monastery and even a school. I went to school there for about a year until they kicked me. It got renovated some years back and now serves as townhall.

But perhaps you never learned this....

OK...We're done with this topic. It's been discussed to death, and quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing about it. Who's right or wrong is going beyond the scope of the original post, so...let's put this one to bed. Further reference to or discussion of this topic is neither asked for nor desired.
