I like the electrical tape idea. You can cut it easily to a thin piece and place it where ever you want. It also removes easily without marking the plastic.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Exactly, I've done it in the past for emulating 6x6 med format.

I'm not sure on other cameras but on my 1D3 i can bring up guide lines in live view for different aspect ratios so i used that as reference for my tape.

Come to think of it, everyday clear Scotch tape would let you see what's beyond the edge.

You could make your own cropmarks for Magic Lantern and use them when viewing the scene in Live View.

I think in ML you can use custom bmp files for overlay.

You should have no problem making custom cropmarks like that for ML in Ps.

Heya,

Get a LCD protector for your LCD size, take a sharpie (the thin tip sort) and draw lines with a ruler on the protector.

Very best,
