I bought a focusing screen for my Canon made by bright screen that shows me
the 4:5 aspect ratio.

A nice bunch this week; let´s try a review:
Herschel Mair - Tuna Catch
Dramatic perspective indeed. As an old square shooter, I think I´d
have taken a step to the left, positioning the boat above the nearest
fish´s tail fin; it would increase the tension even more, but demands
a frame with less extreme aspect ratio. I feel it´s a pity that DSLR
designers stick to Oscar Barnack´s 1914 decision to use 2:3 instead
of taking the opportunity to use a more harmonic 4:5. But that´s an
aside thought...
