        I did not assume that the person also had a fullframe DSLR
        and a 35mm based 400mm lens, rather that he/she would be
        using alternate 645 bodies - standard & one w/ the 24x36mm
        sensor. That the digital 645 and the 35mm DSLR, each w/ a
        24x36mm sensor, were the objects being compared seems to be
        where all this has gone awry despite my fumbling attempts to 
        make this clear.
