To cloudwalker:
Being new to digital and having no wide angle lenses yet, I would worry that that 24mm will give me all the distortion while working as a 38mm.
Just think of it as what you already know about different film formats... how it all relates to normal focal length. If you fitted your 55mm lens from your roll film system onto a 35mm film camera, it would act just like a normal lens... distortion and all. But if you mounted it on a 4x5, well... I'm sure you know.

So, are you saying that the distortion has nothing or little to do with lens design but is rather a question of how the focal length relates to the format? Tbh, I had never given it any thought until this thread
