Advertisement Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here Aspect ratios. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dancook Posted December 16, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 16, 2016 The files are 6000x4000 - so thats 3:2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT0227 Posted December 16, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 16, 2016 Native is 3:2...you can soot in others. What's the aspect ratio of the Leica SL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted December 16, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 16, 2016 It's a 35mm camera, i.e., full frame, i.e., 36 x 24mm sensor size (same as 35mm film neg), i.e., 3:2. Unlike the 4:3 aspect ratio of the X1D.....43.8 x 32.9 mm sensor size. Of course, one can crop to change. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted December 16, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 16, 2016 I think Neil likes having other people read the instruction manual to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted December 16, 2016 Share #6 Posted December 16, 2016 Yes, in fact he has said this many times in response to criticism from others....he enjoys the conversation and not having to research (although he occasionally does that, too). The concept of a 35mm camera, though, shouldn't really shouldn't surprise someone (or require a manual) who has already bought said camera....especially after comparing it to other camera systems.

ramarren Posted December 16, 2016 Share #8 Posted December 16, 2016 Well, there's a limit to how much time I have to spend typing out obvious things listed in the manual... In the future, if it's in the manual, I'd suggest just posting the page number. Conversation and discussion about things that the manual doesn't articulate clearly (and there are many of those) is fine. Constantly asking dumb questions that are perfectly apparent from even a cursory glance at the manual means you're just trying to draw attention to yourself and are wasting everyone else's time.

Cheers John John, I'm referring to Goofy's side kick John McMaster..............I enjoy your threads and banter too. Godfry, Life's to short to be bitching about not wanting to answer someones stupid questions, do like i do "Right Click" and hit the "move to trash button" without even having time to get your nickers in a twist and watching your blood pressure go through the roof......ignore them and move on to the next one that tickles your fancy. On the aspect ratio thingy..............is the 3 x 2 ratio a Leica thing, or do other vendors use it?? Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted December 16, 2016 Share #12 Posted December 16, 2016 On the aspect ratio thingy..............is the 3 x 2 ratio a Leica thing, or do other vendors use it?? Niall, Godfrey has an "e" in it Your questions sometimes make me wonder if you've been living under a rock somewhere. Very touching. 3:2 was developed by Oskar Barnack (from Leica) for the first Ur Leica. Before that, Box Brownie's and the like used 120 roll film in square format. Barnack took 135mm movie film and used that with a high quality lens to create a more compact camera. 35mm format was born. Pretty much every film camera adopted 35mm film with Barnack's 3:2 format (apart from medium format and small format cameras that used little cassettes). On your SL, you can choose different formats, but that is only for JPegs. You raw files will all be 3:2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason behind the initial question is that I have added a "Leica Magic" page to my website and want to add a slider to that page so that the slider shows the full picture rather than a cropped or stretched picture.......................so there was method in my madness after all :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted December 16, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 16, 2016 On the aspect ratio thingy..............is the 3 x 2 ratio a Leica thing, or do other vendors use it?? You might re-read my post #4, first line. It's the essence of 35mm film size (which is why in digital terms it's called 'full frame', meaning the full size of a 35mm negative).....for ANY 35mm camera. But, yes, it started with Oskar. Now that you've owned several Leica systems, you might want to delve into Leica history a bit..... not just photo related, e.g., the Leica Freedom Train.

IkarusJohn Posted December 16, 2016 Share #15 Posted December 16, 2016 One of the joys of Leica ownership is not just to buy the camera and randomly punch buttons to see what happens. I appreciate that this method does work for you, but I would encourage you to enquire more and understand more about your cameras - it will enrich your experience, and you might get more out of your equipment. There are reasons why Victor Hasselblad came up with his compact, modular, medium format 1600F SLR, camera in 1948 (he loved bird photography) and Oskar Barnack the Ur Leica in 1925 (he was asthmatic and wanted a smaller and lighter camera). Barnack died in 1936 ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it is Godfrey, a distinguished name. Let's call him Godfrey. I met the gentleman twenty-two years ago, followed his photo-of-the-day, introduced him to the SWC (I think), and will blame bless him forever for introducing me to Ducati motorcycles.

Simple as that buddy :) Neil Neil, I'm not your buddy. Or your 'mate', or your friend. Such terms bespeak a familiarity that isn't there. I don't know you; you're just a person participating on a camera equipment forum, asking questions, and should act with some courtesy and common sense when doing it. I can ignore you easily, but I do like to help people when they ask for help. There's a protocol in that: you should ask for help when you need it and can't find the information on your own, not just because you want people to talk to you. Your silliness doesn't raise my blood pressure at all and it takes up no more of my time than I'm willing to give. You might consider valuing other people's time and good will a bit more and not being nonsensical because, in the end, you'll end up being ignored by everyone if you continue to act like a buffoon. And then you won't have anyone to talk to when you actually need some help. Sincerely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
