1:1 macro with E1 Re: [OM] Old OM lenses and E-1

[Jeff Keller]

Look at an extreme case ----   put tape over half the sensor on the E1.
Now that 50mm lens has the same field of view as a 200mm so you're
getting 2x macro at 22cm. Similarly a large format camera would look
really bad.

Actually I understand what you are saying and don't disagree with your
intent. However think how the logic can be abused to make incredible
claims.
