The final prints are usually in the 3:4 or 4:5 aspect ratios, and cropping is always a necessity. The same is still true with 2:3 digital sensors, and a 10MP sensor is really equivalent to a 9.1MP 3:4 sensor. Now, 6x6 was something else, and I actually enjoyed shooting using Mamiya 6, the medium format Leica. brad daly wrote: > i realize the use of 35mm film is largely arbitrary for the reasons > previously stated. but isn't there something about the 2:3 aspect > ration that's considered desirable from a geometrical POV? > > --brad > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
