It's an unfortunate complication, but one that could not be avoided I suppose. Most people who use these cameras won't ever consider this obscure detail, but it's something for us to take note of. I think if I have to remember one more thing I'm going to pop.

As technology marches predictably forward, and the fact that a couple of the very high end cameras of today have a 1:1 conversion, the Focal Length Multiplier may also become a relic of the early days of digital. As Chief Dan George once said to the outlaw Jose Wales: "We must endeavor to persevere."
