I think you should read that again, as you\'ve clearly misunderstood it. Or rather, I think you should probably read up a bit on optics as this is relatively basic stuff.
Okay... I have clearly misunderstood you. Sorry...
I do understand that if you move the camera to match the fov, or if you mount a longer tele on the 5DII, the FF camera will perform better always. But that\'s not what I ment with \"bonus on the tele-end\".

So while you do get a boost on the tele end when using a crop sensor (your 100mm becomes the equivalent of 150mm and so on), you get this at a very high price - a significant drop in quality as you are asking much more from the lens.
I interpret the above statement as such that I would get a drop in quality on NEX because the lens can\'t provide the required resolution.
What I ment the test to be was:
1. Mount a good ~200mm lens on your 5DII and take an image of a distant subject.
2. Mount the same lens on the NEX. Take the same shot.
3. In PP, crop the 5DII image to correspond to the NEX image, so they are identical.
4. Compare quality.
I think the NEX is equal or better than 5DII regarding image quality in the above test.
The test would show that the lens resolution is NOT restricting results. Sorry if I didn\'t make it clear.
