Full Frame: what is it?

2008-10-20 Thread Dario Bonazza
I believe Full Frame to be akin the sex of angels, a perfect topic for an endless discussion. What's a frame? Is it related to lenses in use? Is it related to a bayonet shape or a register distance? I don't think so. With film, a frame is related to a supposedly standardised portion of film.
