Using a 400mm lens on a 40D does not get you any closer to the action than using the same 400mm lens on a 5D. It just *appears* to be closer cause your angle of view is reduced by 1.6x.

So my 50mm lens does not act like a 80mm lens due to the crop factor? I always thought thats how it was. Thanks for that
