I love 4:3 for event work, but for fine art / landscape, I am just seeing
XPan (1:2.7) all the time when I am out in the field. I shot with the Mamiya
7II for a year (6x7) but it's just too square for me for that purpose.

As much as I love the E-3, it doesn't have enough bits to tolerate cropping,
especially comparing to XPan 24x65mm film real estate.
