<p>I wish.</p>

<p>Come to think of it, it's not that altered from what panasonic have done with some of there chips, IE made the camera crop from different areas of the sensor.</p>

<p>I like it, joke or not, check on dpreview. </p>

<p>Of course, it would require a larger mirror to make it an SLR, which wouldn't fit within the flange distance spec of any 35mm SLR mount so it would need to be an EVF. It would make more sense to put it on a Micro 4/3 camera.</p>

<p>But Leica's been making rectangular lenses for years - for example <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/576246-REG/Panasonic_HMC150SHOOTER_AG_HMC150_AVCCAM_Camcorder_Shooter_s.html">what they use on Panasonic camcorders</a>.</p>
