I often have a border collie lifting my hand off the keyboard. They are like "come one dude, get off that useless thing and lets go do something important, like go play ball or go for a walk."

Those test aren't relevant to photography, or we'd all be using old lenses used on 8x10 film cameras, because they transmit more light. We all know better. The reverse is true, we don't use lenses designed for 8x10 film cameras because they usually aren't as sharp, and they would be much heavier than needed. Any nerd can point to irrelevant facts that while true and interesting are not relevant to photographic practice.
The difference between a nerd and genius is that the genius can sift through all those possibly relevant (possibly irrelevant) facts to pinpoint what is relevant to the task at hand. This whole argument is just nerdy. "Look mommy, I know fact, here's what I think it means." The fact is indisputable and available to all, the relevance is understood only by those who understand the subject.
Tony doesn't understand the subject.
He should stick to the empirical, obtaining equipment and telling us what works and how. His theoretical understanding is hogwash.
The main reason for using an FF lens on APS-c.... there's no APS-c version of the lens. If he's saying the best most efficient use of a lens is to use it on the format for which it was designed..... duh.
You need to make a video to explain that?
Well OK then. Lets make some videos for people who can't deduce the obvious. Issues that might confuse people with IQs under 80.
The issue is so uncomplicated if you frame it correctly. The question is , why does Tony make it so complicated? It has to be so uneducate (in photoggraphy) people think he's smart. He certainly doesn't fool any smart people.
