How about this ? Let's say you are shooting a football. Fill your frame from edge to edge with the subject. If the football is 15.4 inches long, you will need to make a print that is 15.4 inches long and it will be life size.
Doesn't matter what lens you are using as long as you fill the frame with the subject.

I tend to give the shorthand version, but I think we're saying the same thing.

Actually, a flux capacitor is a contradiction in terms. Flux implies a flow, capacitor implies storage of a potential, and you can't have both. Water can flow, you can put it in a bucket, but you don't have a "flowbucket".

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by,
and then it petered out and I had to retrace my steps and wasted half a day.
