Nothing at all. Much gets by you as usual, Alfie*. To recap, you
asked for a formula (yes, *you* asked, remember?) using crop
factors. David answered your request as I mentioned in my last
reply, telling you to "ignore" crop factors. Do you agree with his
position, that crop factors don't provide enough accuracy? If you
do, then it's good that you've finally learned that crop factors are
so inaccurate as to be nearly useless, and are to be ignored.

I asked for a formula to calculate the FoV. That I mentioned crop
factors is irrelevant (just ignore that). But frankly I don't understand
what we are disagreeing about

Yes, that's very clear. In the future it might be useful to
provide clues as to which parts of your posts are irrelevant. For
all anyone knew, the "formula" that you requested might have been
the irrelevant word, when what you really wanted was a table of
values. Except for those living in some far off land, words and
their usages aren't as elastic as you seem to think.

I believe it to be a Cooper's Hawk:

Definitely does look like a Cooper's. As the Cooper's has such a wide
range it doesn't apply in this case, but generally when asking for an ID
of a bird it helps to give where/when info. Incidentally, in Austin TX
we have what seems like a very large number of both Cooper's and
Red-tails nowadays. It is unusual to drive along our urban expressways
without seeing several, hanging around waiting for lunch to venture out.

Last week in my backyard :-) That is, early March in Westchester
County, north of New York City.

I wonder why it's so fat. (It looks pregnant, which, of course, it's
not.)

Probably because -like all birds- they fluff their feathers out in
cool weather to provide better insulation.

I say its a red tail, I have coopers and redtail out my window and in
my yard trying to catch all the squirrels I fed all winter. The
Coopers are all grey and lighter and that one looks big, like a
redtail.

That is a Cooper's Hawk, the 3 tail chevrons with the last one broader
and darker is diagnostic.
This is much smaller than even a light morph Red Tail.
If you were going to mistake it for anything else a possibility might
be a Sharp Shinned Hawk, but it is smaller and there are 4 tail
chevrons evenly colored, so Cooper's it is.

I had an old ricoh that had EC. It was an extra dial
attached to the ISO dial, so internally it did exactly the
same thing to the meter as changing ISO.

Well, it is a lot better than the front, no question. But that wouldn't

OK, how about "self-portrait" for the next mandate? I'll be gentle.

But who would have thought they would love the D3x so much?

As your Wetback lawyer, I advise you that your posts are annoying as
hell, although they contain links to some really great photos that
would do well in speaking for themselves, without any hype via
nauseating cutesy usenet posts or subject lines.

I further advise you to take your references to specific photographic
gear, and all of your exclamation marks, and violently cram them up
your goddamn ugly, diseased, attention-whore ass until you shit blood
for weeks.

HAND.
