The format is selectable in camera on my ep-1? 6x6, 3x2 and 16x9!
As it takes c mount lenses, with a cheap adapter, the world is your oyster! Prices are rising, but there are many cheap fun lenses that are so small! Admittedly manual focus, but I am a fascist control freak, so that is ok for me.

The format is unable to die? Sony came out with theirs, but most c mount lenses will not work without vignette. Nikon are trying, via a patent, to use an even smaller format, whereby most c mount lenses will not vignette if for 2/3 sensor?

The problem is that such lenses are very cheap on the second hand market and were common for TV and ccTV of yesteryear.

I have a 75mm F1.4 that acts like a 150mm f1.4 with dof of F2.8. Almost takes pictures in the dark! Cosina, as Voigtlander are coming out with mf lenses and so are Samyang and Senko. All F1.4 or faster! How about F0.95?
