Good idea, George. Thanks! Also, when I was shooting with the DA* 50-135mm more regularly, often I'd end up with a square crop because I would zoom in on the action/subject I wanted to shoot--ignoring the left and right sides of the frame. In post-processing, a square crop would often be a necessity, so I could continue to use this as an option. Cheers, Christine
