I am considering buying the new Sony A7R II and noticed that the crop modes are the same as the original A7R (3:2 and 16:9).
I noticed that the Canon 5DS has the option to crop as a jpeg and then output the raw as the full 3:2 file, leaving the freedom to crop later in post..
" The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R allow you to choose from three crop options which are shown in the viewfinder to help you to compose – choose either to see these as outlines or as a masked area. JPEG images are captured at the selected crop setting while RAW files are captured full-frame with the crop shown in DPP, allowing for fine adjustment afterwards. "
This seems extremely valuable to me, as I shoot a lot of headshots and these are always printed as 10 x 8. So, as I see it, the Sony A7RII does not have this which would mean either taping up the rear lcd screen and then using something like a Zacuto or LCDVF

which is a bit of a pain and obviously adds significant bulk to the camera.
So I am wondering, is there any way of adding a mask or something else to the EVF and masking off the image that way?
I previously had a Katz Eyes with my old SLR and this was great but obviously no chance of that happening with the Sony A7RII either, due to no mirror mechanism/focusing screen
Thanks,any suggestions or insights would be very gratefully appreciated!
