First, there is no call for offensive language.  It is always good to be 
polite, and it is especially good when you are wrong.

Second, a 50mm lens used on a camera with a frame size equivalent to APS 
gives the same effect as a 75mm lens on a 35mm film camera. If you think 
otherwise, you have some self-education in front of you, and not just in 
manners.

Best wishes

The 50mm lens is effectively a 75mm on a camera with an APS-sized
chip, so
you SHOULD see a larger image.  It has been cropped, but it fills
the
frame, so it will be larger.
When will people stop posting this kind of crap?
A 50mm lens is effectively a 50mm lens, no matter what camera it is
on.
The isD appears to have exactly the same viewfinder optics as a 35mm
camera, in that a 50mm lens on the istD gives approximately the
viewfinder magnification.
