The context has been that of using MF glass of the same focal length as it\'s smaller format counterpart. 80mm Canon vs. 80mm MF would have captured the same FOV on FF regardless of which lens you chose to use.
Granted that the crop here changed the FOV, but I\'m not talking about switching from a larger format body to a smaller format body. I\'m talking about using a larger format lens of the same focal length as you would have chosen from your FF glass. It will render differently ... it will render in accord with its projection.
You\'re missing the point ... you\'re thinking that I\'m suggesting using a smaller format capture area is going to be the same as what you can achieve with a larger format system. That\'s not what I\'m saying. What I\'m saying is that their are two parts to the equation ... the projection and the capture area. Even if you don\' increase your capture area at the larger format, you can still harness the optics of the larger optical projection ... albeit a smaller fov than if you were to capture the entire projection on the larger format. The drawing style of the projected image remains the same, cropped or not.
