Don't know. But anamorphic is far less appealing on a 16:9 or 17:9 sensor than it is on a 4:3 sensor. Anamorphic makes sense on a GH5, but not so much sense on wider sensors.

Would be great to have a 1.3x and 2x desqueeze 
Do you think its possible to have a 4:3 sensor mode on the EVA1?

Well, yes, you could do it, but it would be a waste. You'd just end up using a lot less sensor area.

When I shoot anamorphic with my EVA1, I know I have to finish in 2K because I'll be doing a 2.39:1 center extraction from the 3.56:1 image you get from a 16x9 / 17x9 sensor area. But even so, I love the results. These are from a short film my wife and I shot a few weekends ago. EVA1, Kowa B&H 2x anamorphic, Voigtlander 40mm f/2 taking lens.
It would be nice if the camera offered desqueeze for monitoring. Right now I use my SmallHD 702 or Odyssey 7Q+ because they both do a 2x desqueeze AND punch in to 2.39:1 center crop so I can see my intended framing.

Great images.
I believe the resolution of the EVA1 after a center crop still offers more detail than what you would get from the aging 4:3 ALEV III sensor.
It would be nice if the Varicams offered a little more height by using the pixel in the sensors look around area for a psuedo-4:3 mode.
There are also 1.3x anamorphic lenses (like hawk vantage) or PS Technik's 1.5x Anamorphic primes and zooms that play better with the 16/17:9 sensors.
