[Leica] Canon doesn't see it quite like Mark

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I was looking a month ago and there is a square option with other format
options on a popular medium format back which can be used on old Hasselblad.
You don't take advantage of the whole size of the sensor but then they're
that big it doesn't not seem like an awful thing.
I'm real fond of shooting square my first two cameras did so.
I went from 4x4 cm to 28x28mm before I got my first 35mm
