Excellent. But the reason I want circular is that it uses all the lens provides.

 

IOW you wish to image all the coverage available with any Leica lens for 35mm,

Well, you and I know that would require at least a 36mm x 36mm format.

Even 36mm ^2 will not cover what we see at 24x36mm.

It simply does not square.

Hello Everybody,

 

Actually, I think that there would need to be an approximately 30mm X 30mm square format to fit correctly inside the 42.5mm diameter circle that the 24mm X 36mm Leitz/Leica negative fits into.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

 

One Leica lens that would cover more than 36x36  is the 135mm Hektor. I'm sure there are others as well.

I wonder how many problems and defects in the lenses would be uncovered if they did that.

 

In the computer industry, I tend to find all sorts of interesting problems when I start looking in dusty corners where no one else ever bothers to look.

You know, I think I would like an M with a square format, it would take me back to my Kodak 126 days. :)

 

Actually my typ 109 has a square option and I have used it quite a few times.
