[Leica] The decisive moment..... NOT!! TED & al.

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

The crop factor never existed in the film era, it was just cheaper digital 
cameras using legacy 35mm film lenses but that has now changed with 
dedicated lenses for the sensors.

BON JOUR philippe mon ami,
Never did/do I! As I still don't understand what the hell all the "CROP fuss 
is all about?"

I thought it might be a far more interesting conversation in that, "How did 
this "High School Dropout" manage to be recognized in the photo world at 
this point in his life not knowing anything about "THE INFAMOUS CROP 
FACTOR?" 

It obviously being such an interesting FORMITABLE tidbit to so many of my 
learned colleagues? :-)

cheers,
ted
