If the lens/body was moved in a perfect parallel manner, then you
are right, 1mm of body/lens movement == 1mm of subject movement.
If you deviate from the parallel motion, then there is a
magnification involved which includes the angle of the motion as
well as the field of view of the lens. With long lenses, the FOV
is very small, therefor any small andular movement seems highly
magnified.
Agreed.
When I can get hold of one of the techies at Konica/Minolta, I'll ask
how their system works and why it doesn't need to know any of the
characteristics of the lens.
