The thing that I'm concerned about is the working distance of the 50mm

could easily have the working distance of a 50mm macro lens, which is
pretty crappy for many applications.

I think the multiplication factor works for that too. If the working
distance were the same it would be producing the same size image as a
50 macro. Since you have a smaller sensor it will only capture a
portion of that image. You will have to back up to get the smaller 1:1
image you are looking for.
