In the future there won't be "square cameras" I suspect because it is such a waste. Photographers will crop their images into squares instead of cropping their squares into rectangles. I suspect the only way for this is that there won't be film cameras. I think that is what it will take for Mamiya, Bronica, Hasselblad and Rollei to drop the format. All of the square format photographers that I have known have made square pictures, eschewing the entire rectangular picture concept as being a waste. William Robb
