I love the square format from my 120 roll film days. Enjoyed using it with my various twin lens reflex cameras, one of which the Rolleiflex F 2.8 I still own. Actually there is no need to manufacture square sensors. All we need are two vertical lines from the left and right hand sides of the viewfinder showing the square orientation. What I have done: attached a view finder from a Leica auxiliary lens system that fits on to the flash shoe. I have etched the two vertical lines on the front element of the Leica viewfinder. Presto, I have a square format DSLR APS-C camera, the Pentax K20D. Of course if one is bolder one can remove the matte screen from the body and etch the two vertical lines on it with a diamond tipped tool. Perhaps Googling can show up some DIY examples. Bipin - from a far away enchanting land.
