Hi guys,

Jan, if you're looking (and I'm sure you are :-P ), I would like to have some sort of guidelines within the LCD for film framing, if one is to shoot with the intention for film out. So if there can be guides for framing for 1:85:1 and 2:35:1, it would be wonderful (and far better than my ghetto use tape and mark LCD method with the DVX now). Anyone else like to see this as well, post and let it be known! Thanks!

EVSOnline has these little stickers in two packs for 4 bucks that overlay on your LCD screen
with 1.78:1 (16x9) frame lines. You might nag them to make a one-size fits all version with
1.66:1 (Super16mm) 1.85:1 and 2.39:1, as these are the most common frame sizes.
