Well now you have me scratching my head Jim! What is the difference between shape and size?

In you're just prior email you listed that my 80 was the equivalent of a 50 for 35mm film/sensor size. That's what I consider normal ( really slightly telephoto, but as close as you get with modern lenses). Thus my statement. 

But still confused by shape vs size...
Thanks for noodling this!
Bob.

I think both George and I were thinking size, but, since the 80mm IS the normal FL for your sensor, I think you were talking about the shape.  Could this be the case?
