I know when shooting with a crop camera, you get extra reach, which on Canon is 1.6x.
that's a huge misconception. you don't get more reach, you get a cropped image, hence the name "crop camera". take any image you currently have and crop it, have you got more reach? no, you just have cropped it.

as @Helix_2648 already pointed, you get better ISO and dinamic range. how much? that depends on the cameras that you compare, but around 1 stop of improvement.
actually I'm saying the lens is not good enough for the crop camera.

alright, then I'll need to start saving for a full frame camera to use my L lenses.
