FYI, with aspect ratios: 35mm film (used in standard film cameras) = 36mm x 24mm = 1.5:1 Standard definition TV = 4:3 = 1.33:1 High def (also European digital TV) = 16:9 = 1.78:1 so 35mm film would have a wider aspect ratio (uncropped) than 4:3 which is why I found your choice of crop interesting. I think there are a few digital cameras today producing 4:3 aspect ratios, most notable teh 4/3rds system. What do the digital Leicas do, like the M8/9 ? -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
