I suspect one of the distinctions here is a perennial Leica favorite.  Some
of us crop in the darkroom, others are committed to filling the frame.  If
you are cropper, as I am, then concentrating on the picture is less of a
strain.  I always allow adequate room and rarely cut off people's heads
(well, not so as to admit doing it, anyhow!).  

I can trust the high quality of Leica lenses to allow me to blow up a
negative slightly to fill in the edges without a noticeable loss of quality.

Yes, I shoot chromes.  I rarely project them, though:  I normally
Ilfochrome them.
