robsonj – Thanks. I tried the DNG Recover Edges plugin on a 50mm crop shot and, you're right, it recovers the whole 28 mm EFOV image to the full 6,020 x 4,024 dimensions. However, you can crop the full, recovered image by clicking on the lock icon in the LR Crop Overlay facility, so that the icon changes to the unlocked lock. So you were right in saying that "the crop mode becomes a really good framing tool", since you can reformat the shot to whatever dimensions you want.
But, for me, this is of limited usefulness generally — except, possibly, occasional shots with 35mm and 50mm crops where the framing was drastically wrong because of the rush of the moment when pressing the shutter. Another use could be for a book project in with you have the double-page spread in the 3:2 (W:H) aspect ratio (so the the single page aspect ratio is 3:4)— and you want to reformat vertical 35 and 50mm crop shots to the 3:4 aspect ratio without losing more of the file size.
