Well, I'm just trying to get used of having to tighten my framing. I was used to relating what I saw in the 5n's viewfinder to what I'd expect to see in the resulting print. I've noticed that with the ist D, it adds some extra space all around, so in order to avoid post processing (cropping, at least) I now have to learn to take account of what's slightly obscured by those black borders. Just not used to framing what I can't see..
Batch cropping sounds a bit extreme, but was just curious about it more than looking to it as a solution.
