The 1.3x format is an unnecessary step-child of a format. It is stuck

1.6x sensors.

You 1D Mark III users have to pay for and lug around full-frame lenses
and throw away 37% of the images they cast because they are cropped
off.

And with the 10 frames per second that they shoot, you get to throw
away 37% ten times every second.

Your precious $2000 14mm lens wilts to a mere 18mm with the 1.3x crop.
Likewise the exciting 24mm becomes a boring 34mm. And the 15mm fisheye
becomes a 20mm abortion.

The rest of us, the 1.6 crop crowd, march off to a bright digital
future laughing in our shirts at the 1.3x prima donnas.


Well said [with a bit much flare at the end] and it is exactly what I was
trying to communicate [apparently ineffectively].
