There wasn't an argument, and neither was it because of the calculation. The latter was close enough. However, I missed the "equivalent" descriptions, and IMO that may be confusing to newcomers, at the least. A lens doesn't change FL or set aperture, only by mounting it on a different camera.
Kind regards, Wim

Thanks Wim,
I was hoping to prevent any antagonism, not trying to create any (or imply there had been)..!!

That's close enough indeed, and by far the fastest method, in general. It isn't 100% exact, probably anywhere between 95 and 99% depending on the real crop factor, and because CoC size is not 100% linearly decreasing or increasing, amongst others, but the difference is minimal.
Do note that CinC talks about equivalents, and is careful to state what it is an equivalent for.
Kind regards, Wim
