For the aperture being reduced, it was never something I read in to too much, but it was a guy from over your side of the pond who mentioned it too me.

When he told me I was new to photography and it went over my head and I never really looked back in to it.

Maybe I should dig this info out.

But in terms of the focal length that's how you work out the length on a crop sensor. Some crop sensors are actually around 1.5 instead they do vary.

Either way, full frame is the way to go.
