Most of those things crop out a part of the current 35mm format so they would REALLY crop this new size. Not to mention that I personally HATE the new auto load things like the R8, Canon EOS and Nikons have. I much prefer the old take up spools where you could load the camera upside down in the rain to keep the back dry, in high wind the leader would not fly away and best of all you could load the cameras and never get your fingers near the touchy vertical shutters. Now you have to position it just so and close the back with it in position for it to catch properly. Try it in the rain while trying to keep your pressure plate dry and you will see what I mean.
