Yeah, but you cant see that through the viewfinder while your taking the
shot. Cropping an enlargement is a bit later on.

Subject: Re: DSLR and existing lenses at 1.5x

The reason I prefer the term "pseudo-telephoto effect" is that  you get
the same results with 35 mm film by enlarging and cropping.  The smaller
size of the sensor crops the image, which we then have to enlarge more
to get an equivalent picture.
This would only be a "real effect is the smaller sensors had as many
"bits" packed in as the film, about 20 MP.

I'm willing to be corrected here, but have I said anything wrong?
Don't I already have that 75 mm f1.4 lens with my 50 if I just crop out
the middle?

Raining on the parade,

Steve
