I agree, let's be reasonably free and easy about cropping. I can think of at least one legitimate reason for very substantial cropping that does not violate the spirit of one focal length - suppose for example you "see" an image which works in a "letter-box" or other non-standard format - then you've got a heavy crop and still the requirement for the originally employed focal length lens. (Another reason is the apalling property of Fontierlab machines not to print full frame, so you've got to frame loosely, and crop if you've overdone it. Maybe I should shoot slides and get a scanner!)

Yes indeed, let's keep it free, easy and fun.
