I also prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio of my Q and 645 systems over the 3:2 of K-mount. But I prefer the K-mount ecosystem.

I suspect there were engineering reasons for the choice - like a smaller vertical dimension allowing a more nimble mirror in a more compact box.

Thinking outside the box (or is it inside?), I wonder if there might be a case for a K-mount crop camera with a 4:3 sensor, given there is all that full frame space to swing the mirror around. Call it the K-43 and style it for hipsters ;)
