But a magnification of 1:8 on an FT is a field of view corresponding to the size of a postcard. When I grew up that was the typical macro setting of a zoom lens for a film DSLR. For an ultrawide I think that is a very decent value.

Field of view is how wide the view is, not the magnification <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

1:8 on FT is even a bit better than the typical postcard size, it is about CD jewel case size. Indeed, not all that bad for 24mm FF equivalent.
