[meredith]

:eek:can any one explain to me what is crop factor. i just finished lesson 3 but i still dont understand it. and i dont understand when somethging says " the equivalent of a 35mm camera ". i probably sound really dumb but i just cant get it. iv read the lesson over and over its just not sinking in...

so really, i just need to go more wide angle since my sensor is smaller than 35mm? thats really the base i guess.
