Quote: You are under the common amateur misunderstanding of what "crop factor" on APS-C bodies means.
Putting a lens on a crop-sensor body DOES NOT GIVE MORE REACH!!!.
The only thing in question here isn't "reach" a colloquial term with almost no defined meaning. Two terms that do have meaning and can be considered components of reach are field of view, and magnification. 150mm FF is the same field of view as 100mm APS-c. So that's part of what is meant by "reach" and APS-c gives you the same field of view with a shorter lens. IN that sense APS-c gives you more reach.
In the second part, magnification... how many pixels across is the subject of the image, APS-c 24 MP, gives you more subject magnification than anything short of 51mm FF with the same lens. So again, more magnification, the second component of reach.
Given the same lens and similar MP say a 24 MP FF and a 24 mm APS--c the APS-c will give you both narrower field of view similar to a longer lens on FF, and more magnification of the subject. Unless you can come up with another relevant metric that neutralizes the above two components, I'm going to have to dismiss that as a practically inaccurate statement
So I have to ask, in what metric does APS-c not get you more reach? In what possible definition of "reach" does APS-c not give you more?
Maybe before you start calling people amateurs, you might want to spend some time understanding what you're talking about. Implying others who think differently than you are amateurs doesn't make you right. No one who owns a K-3 and K-1 is going to make that mistake. You'd know from looking at your images.
