True at 35mm, but try the argument again at 400mm... Who would want to use a
400mm lens at 400mm when he is told he could make that lens act like a 560mm
lens?  SUre sounds like a marketing position to me... "Use my new Model L1
Digital camera with the result that your telephoto lenses will get you
closer to the sports participants."  Imagine all the fathers that take
endless pictures of their kids swimming, soccer, baseball, football,
lacrosse, hurling, tiddly winks, ping pong, etc.  They now could own bigger
faster lenses without the cost of those bigger faster lenses.....  Idiotic?
Maybe.  Maybe not.

 Why
wouldn't anyone prefer to use a 35mm lens as a 35mm lens?
