Shooting "superslides" with the 50 And the 16S back yesterday came darn close.
I think compares to a 65 more than a 60.
Some people think nothing of cropping like this on a regular basis.
And certainly some ALWAYS make rectangles from squares.
I just figured out taking 645 out of 6x6 is a 25 percent crop.
Taking 45x45 out of 6x6 is a 44 percent crop!
