>> Good morning CREW,
>> I haven't paid any attention to these posts about "crop factor" only because
>> it was never in my photon vocabulary for 65 plus years from start to now
>> near finished!
>> 
>> So I thought,"Well these guys know all about this stuff. "MAYBE I CAN LEARN
>> SOMETHING I DIDN'T HAVE A PHOTO CLUE ABOUT?" So I've been reading them? I
>> still don't have a CLUE WHAT THE HELL IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MAGIC MOMENT
>> CAPTURED @ 1/1000 of a sec?" Or the runner winning the 100 meter Olympic
>> Gold medal Race?
>> 
>> I have 5 cameras hanging about shoulders and neck all different size lenses
>> for the immediate moment required? "SEE SHOOT MERELY BY GRABBING PROPER
>> CAMERA BY INSTINCT...... "CLICK!" Image captured move on to next exciting
>> moment without an eye blink about what lens?????? WHY?
>> 
>> ONCE AGAIN! It's the content and grabbing the camera with the right lens is
>> all that matters! "DON'T THINK OR IT'S OVER!"
>> 
>> It appears again that this kind of " CROP FACTOR" stuff must really mean
>> something major to the "ROCK & FERN FOLKS?"  Real-life shooters???  "NADA!"
>> Besides if you don't know anything about it? It "ain't goin' to hurt you!"
>> :-)
>> 
>> Cause in Two Wars, a helicopter crash at 50 below zero, very bad landings in
>> ski equipped Otter aircraft. When taking pictures of President Ronald
>> Reagan. Oh yeah President Kennedy, Her Majesty Queen of England, And one of
>> the most beautiful photos of Jacquie Kennedy ever?????
>> 
>> "This "CROP FACTOR GOBBELDY-GOOK" STUFF NEVER MATTERED? Or I don't think so?
>> Because it was never in a mind thought ! Hell I didn't even know it existed?
>> 
>> So in plain understandable English language would, please "one person?" Not
>> with 33 e-mails (thank you)  explain to me what I've done wrong for 65 years
>> and possibly I can correct the errors of my photographic ways? Thank you
>> very much.
>> 
>> Any other "ERRORS OF MY WAYS?????????" You are free to use your imaginations
>> on that one.
>> HOWEVER? NOBODY HAS THE ANSWERS TO FIX THOSE!  :-) :-) I suppose I might say
>> "You really don't want to know?"  Mischievous devil wouldn't you say?    ;-)
>> :-)
>> Thank you most kindly.
>> cheers,
>> Dr. ted :-)
