APS by any other name.... I'm used to shooting Nikon Dx APS-C which is a 1.5 x crop circle but Canon and Leica m8 shooters are shooting APS H which is 1.33 This is an interesting illustration http://digital-photography-school.com/crop-factor-explained While the yellow line is 1.5 APS-C DX the red line bisects that and full frame. And the red line is 1.33 APS H M8 or Canon format. It looks quite a bit more impressive here. Maybe I'll get it in a firmware upgrade. Also notice here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_DX_format The difference between the Nikon and Canon APS-C formats and how medium format dwarfs them both. I'm going to get a cheap used back for my Hassy's and blow all you guys with your Canon and Nikon super shooter FF X's away. Mark William Rabiner
