I agree Tom - that's what I don't like about it is the advertisers and the sales people.

I was in  jessops and hears the guys trying to sell a Nikon D40 and a 24mm lens (the more expensive one). While he was at the back I told the guy looking to buy that he should get the 17/18mm lens coz it'll give him more of a view due to the crop factor. He claims the camera was a gift for his daughter (nice bloody gift) and he knew what he was looking for but I could see in his eyes that I had put some doubt into his mind as to whether his lens choice was now right...

Rich - I get what you're saying but I still gotta go on my rebelious path and say that I'm into this new way of things about viewing angles and no longer crop factor. To me it's like a 18mm lens with a smaller front element so you see less... Make sense?
P.S. HERE'S YOUR COOKIE :D It's a Double choc chip one...

Gir - I like your explaination with the pen thing, pretty illistrative way of explaining it, now can I see that stamp with 200 legable words on it please? HEE HEE
