Two articles excerpted below. The first shows through some photographic examples how many scenes or subjects work best in one aspect ratio and not as well in others. I would like to see all mirrorless cameras have some type of multi-aspect ratio sensors so various aspect ratios can be chosen, all having the widest field of view — instead of having to crop from 3:2 or 4:3, which loses field of view and pixels.
“Why does the sensor have to be this one form of rectangle? It doesn’t have to be. … It could be circular, and capture the entire image circle, and allow you to crop later, so that no matter what ratio you decided to go you weren’t losing a lot of megapixels. As people are choosing more and more different form factors, it’s going to get more and more important to shoot in a wide variety of aspect ratios.” – Tony Northrup, transcribed by Jeff Fenske
B&H with Matt Frazer from Panasonic, transcribed by me:
Matt: This camera actually uses 5 aspheric elements.
B&H: Glass elements, I might add. No polymer…, just glass.
Matt: They’re all glass. There’s actually 8 aspheric surfaces…. And 2 of them are ED glass. … To go a step further, we were really worried about the quality of the bokeh in the background: those little bokeh balls you get in the background, and all of a sudden you see these concentric rings. Well, we have a new milling technique for molding our aspherics that gets rid of that. So you shouldn’t have any of that funky, onion curl ring in your bokeh balls.

I grew up in the ’60s and ’70s watching ABC’s Wide World of Sports, which began like this:

Waiting to get in — Sam’s Club east in Anchorage, Alaska — first day that everything was 50% off — at 5pm.
Back of the line are the people left of the trees! Inside, the register lines were another two hours — all the way to the back wall!
Mom is to the right of the corner of the building in the light blue coat, hand raised, chatting with a nurse.
Former NWA coworkers: Tommy was to the left of the flag (red hat). And I saw Don S. inside!

Anchorage south location — back to ‘no waiting.’ For years, the Sam’s Club stores were dead compared to Costco. I often wondered how they could stay in business. Costco’s buyers are brilliant.
