1.6x body a complement to FF?

Does it make sense to use a camera like a 40D as a backup/complement to a
FF, like the 5D? Seems that the 40D would offer extra reach with telephoto
lenses, costs less than another 5D.

Thanks.

This newsgroup is for 35mm film photography.

It was......but has adapted to the real world where 35mm film today is
almost non existing!

To me it makes perfect sense as long as you can get the "angle of view" you
need (wide angle).

Of course it does. In that scenario, I'd consider the 5D as the
backup.

No mention of "film' in the group name. We are discussing 35mm sized
sensors.

Therefore the 40D, being a non-full frame sensor is off topic...

I knew that was coming as soon as I posted it.
But since the 40D is part of Canon's 35mm-based DSLR system and uses
the same lenses as my 35mm Fabulous EOS-1V, I guess I'll keep posting
here.

No. It's for 35mm format camera equipment from which most DSLR cameras
are derived.

IAC if the NG were limited to film only users it would get quite quiet
in here very fast.

In general, to devote a whole newsgroup to one particular type of
photographic sensing plane is pretty restrictive.....Basically, there is
little difference between 35 mm cameras and small hand held digital
cameras....They both produce the same results, and require the same
auxiliary equipment (lenses, tripods, carry bags, and etc.) in order to get
those results. What does it matter whether a photograph I see on my computer
was taken with film and then digitized by a film scanner, or whether it was
digitized directly inside the camera? In either case, I can't see it on my
computer unless it is digitized by something, somewhere along the way. And,
should I not want digitized photos, then I would be restricted to living at
my local camera store, which is about what my father had to do.

The Tessina 35 uses 35mm film with a frame size of 14mm x 21mm, not
far off the 40D's 15mm x 22mm.
