[Leica] New R Solution?

[shino at panix.com (Rei Shinozuka)]

  of another way of visualizing how the rectangular or square crops fit 
onto the image circle:

http://www.rytterfalk.com/wp-content/upload/1253263718-sensors.jpg

given a fixed image coverage circle, the maximally circumscribed 
rectangle cannot be extended into a maximally circumscribed square 
without reducing the longer dimension (36mm in this case.)

for 35mm the square format which would fit into lens coverage would be 
30.5mmx30.5mm.
