Aspect ratio crop lines

Am I the only one that wants Leica to add the ability to see 4x5 and 1x1 crop lines in the viewfinder?  I like to shoot in these aspect ratios and would like to see and option in the Q2 to select them when needed.

Leica wants you to buy an SL or SL2 for such fancy thing. 😉

Would love to see that feature added...

I would love to see this features as well but also add in some other options as well, like a 21:9, 16:9 and 7:6 (6x7)

The Q would be better without any fake frame crop lines in my view.

Just shoot at 28mm and crop if you mess up.

I think the implementation of the digital zoom leaves a lot to be desired. I agree with Steven on the playback interface. However, if you shoot both JPG and DNG when using the digital zoom, the playback version you get is the cropped JPG; not the case if you are only shooting DNG. What really irks me is the fact that you get the frame lines a la rangefinder instead of "zooming" the image to fit the LCD according to what you are shooting, i.e. 35, 50, 75. This is just a nuisance and a remnant of the M-series user experience. It is borderline usable at 35 and definitely NOT usable at the long end of the digital zoom. I really hope that they will address this in a firmware upgrade. I am used to 35 and I am not using it because I do not like the frame lines and seeing what is left out. It should be noted that digital zooms are not implemented like this on other cameras; the X100F for example, uses the frame lines when you are looking through the actual optical rangefinder but if you use the EVF, it zooms the image to fill the frame. Much better:)

I like the frame lines and understand why they did it. But, it’s an easy menu item to add if they so desired.

Amen... I've been waiting to see this in every firmware upgrade, but nothing...

I'd like that, too!

1:1 is the one i really would like to have in the Q2. It makes such a different feel to the pictures with a square format that it is a very useful alternative.

I also want to see at least 1:1 crop lines.
