Is this possible? To use some sort of software to crop an image produced by a wide angle (like 18mm) and convert it to produce the same shot as if you shot it from a 300mm lens (of course HUGE loss quality)?
What i mean is for example:
Lets say you go to the race track (drag strip), you stand at the finish line with a 50mm lens, take a snap shot of the starting line, go home and load it into software, zoom in and crop it until the car at the starting line is in frame, and it will tell you the appropriate focal length needed to produce that shot.
So you can kind of guess what focal length you need before buying it and your 600mm prime turns out to be too short or too long for what you wanted... You know what I mean?
