What are you guys using for crop "markers" when shooting with your gh2? Do you tape your LCD as a guide? Is there a way to view in camera where a 1920 x 800 crop would be as to frame your composition accordingly?
 
i made a sleeve out of overhead projector film and a black marker. you can still see the info underneith it like shutter and the like which is very helpful.

Cool, do you tape the film over to the edges of the LCD Bezel, or do you have a perfectly sized piece of film which fits inside of the bezel area covering the LCD?
 
I use the 2.35:1 matte feature on my new Marshall V-LCD70XP-HDMI monitor. Oh Yeah! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Just showing off there, but seriously, my god I love this monitor! It's so luxurious. Lots of aspect ratio mattes to choose from, and selectable opacity of the matte too!

Otherwise, scotch tape works well, as it is translucent (between opaque and transparent) and removes without residue. It's also cheap, easy and quick. Several layers can increase opacity of course...
