MF crop factor or no crop factor

One of the ways I look "beyond the border" with a full frame sensor is simply to use a zoom lens a tad wider than what I want to shoot at. For example, if shooting at 80 mm, zoom out to 75 to see beyond the border.

Of course, this only works with zooms at lengths longer than the minimum you want to shoot at.

Otherwise, use the best zoom of all and take a few steps back....after checking what's behind you! (cliffs, lakes, freeways can all be quite hazardous using this method as can bears, and I speak from experience!)
