Gerhard, The argument (for me at least) isn't whether or not this is a bug, but whether the behaviour matches my expectations. For comparison the above image shows a couple of quick snaps I just took with my digital camera. The camera was locked off on a tripod so the distance and focal length are the same for both shots. Notice how unlike the Vue test in post 6, the size of the subject in the real photos doesn't change between landscape and portrait. Instead parts of the horizontal view is clipped while the vertical is expanded. In Vue that horizontal clipping does not occur, which for anyone who does a lot of photography is a bit counter-intuitive. Cheers Mark
