I think he intended them to be. Doesn't anyone understand sarcasm.

That is kind of silly, you could just crop an APS size section of the FF

6mmx9mm and
call your 50/1.4 a 200/1.4?
Hey, what an idea, I think I will mask down my 4x5 and then my
semi-wideangle
lens would be a telephoto. Oh, I don't have to do that, I can just use a
roll
film back that does the same thing? What, you say I could have done that
back in
the 1930's? Gee, I thought all this BS was a brand new idea? Then there
was the
Rolleikin adaptor for the Rolleiflexes that let you use 35mm film in them.
Funny
thing is, no one thought their lenses got longer when they did that back
then.
People must have just been smarter in the old days. Nowadays, suckers
believe
anything the advertising guys say.
The last two sentances are a bit mean mate. And - using your theory why
bother with telephotos at all? Why not just use a 15mm lens for everything
and then just crop to suit? It would be just the thing for all sorts of
photos from landscapes to close ups of tigers. You wouldn'r even need to
worry much about framing a photo - just point more or less in the right
direction and crop afterwards. Turkey.
