Do you swap cameras when you want to swap aspect ratios? I understand a little what you are saying but not all pictures I want to take with my 35mm camera are 3:2. Sometimes the picture I'm seeing is panorama: sometimes it is square ... life is boring if you have to stick to full frame. As a compromise, maybe you could allow yourself to crop horizontally XOR vertically. :o) - and maybe onlt then if it was "pre-planned" Bob
