I shoot with a micro four thirds (m4/3) camera which has a 2x crop factor. I was in a camera shop buying extension tubes for my Canon FD 50mm 1:2 macro & the man behind the counter said "that is a very nice lens, do you realize you get greater than the 1:2 magnification on your crop body?" This lens uses a 25mm tube to convert it to a 1:1 macro. I bought a 15 & 25mm tube.
A smaller field of view is the only consequence that I can see. What say you, regarding the greater magnification on the crop body with a macro lens. I think it's bull but I am no lens expert.
