Odd. He mentioned you personally. Taken out of context, they don't look as bad as some others but he had such supercilious air it was difficult to hold a conversation with him on any level. Let me know when you've had enough. =================================================================== Antonio Aparicio Mon, 17 May 2004 14:46:55 -0700 Jostein, so would one of the unwritten rules of this list be that you can only disagree if you do so "constructively" and that you must try and befriend those you are debating things with? Antonio ==================================================================== Antonio Sat, 14 Aug 2004 23:25:28 -0700 I'll reply to the bit of you post that acutally is relevant tot he topic. For the last time (I hope). When people sax an xmm lens is the 35mm equivalent of a ymm lens they are not saying it is exacctly the same in all respects, but rather the AOV is simimilar because of the crop factor brought about by the smaller digital sensor. It is not a literal statement as you, greyworld and peter alling seem to read it. |Antonio ========================================================================= Antonio Sat, 14 Aug 2004 07:45:07 -0700 Trolling again William? Why is it so hard for you to accept that most people use and understand the term "35mm equivalent" when refering to non-35mm formats? A. ========================================================================= Antonio Sat, 14 Aug 2004 13:46:55 -0700 Yet another abusive post ERN. Very good. Well done. I am sure your gallery will love it. However calling someone a Jackass doesnt win an argument, nor make you right, it just makes you look abusive. "50mm becomes xmm on a digital camera" is easy enough to understand, as is the 35mm equivalent of lens x is y. Both are acceptable phrasing and language - only you, greyworld and alling seem to have problems with it. The rest of the web, and some more authoritative sites than this seem to use them without a problem. I have not misrepresented greyworld at all. Did you miss the bit that said (and I quote): <<"My 50mm lens becomes 200mm lens is just BS pure and simple. The whole thing seems to be a form of penis envy, "Mine is bigger than yours".>> It is not bullshit as greyworld has said - it means that my 50mm lens becomes a xmm lens (i.e. The AOV changes) when you use it on a digital camera. Antonio P.s. Penis envy is a term originally applied to women, as they do not have a penis of their own ;-). ======================================================================== Antonio Mon, 16 Aug 2004 10:25:43 -0700 Don¹t worry Norm, you were included amongst the "few others", along with the other sheep (Coty, Don & Co.) By the way, what is it with you guys and Penis size?
