Neil... In my opinion, there is NO magnification factor....  using a sensor
( film or otherwise) only changes the field of view or angle of view of the
sensor.

Relative comparisons can be easily studied by relative ratios, and using a
term like magnification factor is fine in that context.

I
agree with your analysis, except for the "apparent FL" aspect. The field
of view changes as you've described, but the magnification factor does
not. 

Best regards,

Neil
