Please Fuji!

I think it highly unlikely based on the recent feedback I got here, although I positioned it slightly differently, ie a multi-aspect sensor would be best for aps

There are distinct disadvantages to shooting those aspects on a 3:2 ratio sensor, but still 4:3 should be available, especially as it is on GFX.

They show all these aspects and make only 3 available on the x series, 7 on a GFX, doesn't that tell you the shape of 3:2 is limiting? To get around this, pick a FF sensor with the 4:3 option and choose a lens to simulate the range you want to cover, so for example a 75mm prime or a 70-200 lens might be more flexible in emulating the true focal length and feeling of 4:3 with an 85mm lens, and set it to around 75mm!

Similarly for 45mm, find a lens to cover that or a 45mm prime for 4:3 50mm.
