What effect does this have on the "look" of the lens, other than the
apparent change of focal length?
Astigmatism and distortion are worse towards the edges of the image. but
the CCD excludes the edges of the sensor. So on the one hand it would seem
that lenses may perform better. On the other hand, the resulting image
must be magnified even more to do the same size print, so the lesser
distortion at the edges of the CCD may end up looking as bad after
magnification.
This is a re-delurk, after about a year of-list that also coincided with a
photography hiatus I intend to end.
