P1505 Posted December 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Now the M9 has died I’m looking around for a new camera, and although the M10 is the obvious choice I’ve always hankered after an SL. A used first gen is cheap, and I just saw it offers 3:1 mode. Which interest me. Does this show as 3:1 in the EVF so you can compose properly? If so, saves me buying an X1D and I can use my M lenses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1505 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 6, 2020 Nobody? Seems to me an SL with a 21mm on it, if the EVF showed the 3:1 ratio, would be a digital XPan. Sort of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked with my SL2, yes, 3:1 shows in the EVF and on the back LCD. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1505 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted December 6, 2020 Yeah but amazing potential 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted December 8, 2020 Share #7 Posted December 8, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) 2.7:1 was the format of 6x17 cameras and others like the XPan. A format I always liked. With the high res mode enabled this might actually be useful on the SL2. I should give it a try. Thanks for the reminder, folks...

P1505 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted December 9, 2020 I printed a Leica Q files at 700mm wide when cropped to this format, so being able to work in it in the viewfinder will be great. And 24mp is more than enough to crop into. I don’t need the hassle of 40 something mp 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a SL exclusively, often with M lenses. But I've never heard/seen anything about 3:1 in EVF. What is this? And why would it force you into a Hasselblad?

P1505 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted December 9, 2020 It’s an ultra wide crop. It’s just great to view it in the EVF. I think the Hasselblad X1D and the Sigma Foveon cameras are some of the only other cameras that offer it. And the Fuji GFX50. Always wanted an XPan but now I have a Leica alternative. I could crop in Lightroom but seeing it in the EVF is amazing fun. Camera arrives today so hopefully this weekend I’ll share some examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkleshark Posted December 9, 2020 Share #11 Posted December 9, 2020 The 3:1 mode displays in the electronic viewfinder and rear screen. The DNG raw files are acquired in 3:2 full frame and when imported into Lightroom the top and bottom crops to obtain 3:1 aspect ratio are greyed out but the entire full frame raw data file is there so you can recrop even into the greyed out areas. This is so flexible so even if you have it in 3:1 mode and later want 3:2 , the full 3:2 file is there in DNG. You loose nothing in the DNG raw files. The jpegs may only be 3:1 . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
