I *think* I disagree with your first sentence, Paul, but I can't be sure ...
because the terms you use in the second sentence are, umm, imprecise, though
I accept that they don't seem so to you, because you know what you mean!
I think all that we can agree on is that putting the 90mm lens on any camera
(Pen F, OM, E-1 or 4 x 5 plate camera) doesn't change it's *actual* focal
length.

That's incorrect. If you put the same lens on an E1 the object will be twice
the size because the *effective* focal length of the lens has doubled.

Walt's right. Here's another way of thinking of it.
That lens on an OM camera will fill the frame with an object 24 x 36 mm. On
your E-1, the same lens will show the same object at the same size - but you
won't see so much of it because the frame is smaller.

If I took my 90/2.8 Tamron macro and put it on one of my Graphics and shot
something 1:1, I would get a circle in the middle of a much larger piece of
film, but it would still be 1:1. Same thing if you use it on an itty-bitty
piece of film, or sensor, and only get part of it. 1:1 is 1:1.
OK. I think I have it . . . unless it leaves me again. Bill Barber
