Folks I need you help, hopefully you can help me out 😉
I had the opportunity to test the Leica SL2-S and liked quite well.
During the test shots I discovered the different aspect ratios the camera is offering for stills (photos) like 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 5:7, 1:1 and even 3:1 what I really like! (reminds me of the old XPAN Fuji/ Hasselblad format 2,708:1 / 65:24) - which are natively supported thru the viewfinder/ LCD display and stored as native JPEGS (with the full resolution RAWs)

So my question is now to all the SL and SL2 users: Is 3:1 available there as well?

Because that would be awesome, since I am thinking about instead of getting a SL2-S either a SL2 (because of the resolution) or a „old“ used SL (because of price and same resolution as the SL2-S and I don’t need advance video settings so far).

Thanks a lot in advance, keep healthy and have fun!
