Hi, sorry about this but I have another question that's bugging me.
I'm looking at some lenses on Ebay, Minolta fit for a sony A200.
I know that the sony A200 has a crop factor of 1.5, so a 300mm lens for a
film slr would effectively perform as a 450mm.
This would be wonderfull for what I'm wanting it for, but I have a problem.
How can I tell from the listings whether a 300mm lens is 300mm in film terms
or 300mm in digital terms?

300mm is 300mm.
