The focal length of a lens is *defined* by its field of view. If you use a sensor half as wide, the focal length halves too. The problem is that 35mm was around so long people got the two confused. This only applies to digital cameras of course: with traditional film cropping after a photo is taken does not change focal length. Well, that's what it says in all the camera mags ;o) Oh, why does digital look better: all I can add is that my chromes hold a LOT more information, clarity and colour than I've ever been able to get close to by scanning. I can't afford drum scans which (for high-contrast images) are infinitely better than the best desktop scanners at both resolution and avoiding blooming. Digital images are often sharpened well before even the photographer gets to see them too. Come to think of it, who can afford drum scans any more? Has anyone used a D60+ to copy chromes? Does that produce less blooming loss of resolution than most scanners? Q
