Re: Petition Fuji, give us 4:3, 5:4, and 6:7 aspect ratios on X-series cameras

At a National Park Service historic building, I made photographs matching historic photographs for a report showing changes in the building and landscape over time.  Estimating the original focal length was typically easy since most were shot with a normal lens. Most of the original prints were 4:5 aspect ratio so duplicating tripod position would have been much less time consuming if a 4:5 view finder option was available. My guessing at where I would be cropping was mostly good enough.

This may not be a common photographic assignment for readers of this form.  But it was fun and other agencies responsible for historic buildings and landscapes could use help.  At this site duplicating the most attractive photograph required climbing onto numerous boulders until I was standing exactly where the photographer who last documented the site had stood.
