So I'm a little confused about something.
I know that a 50mm lens is the "standard" lens on a 35mm and full-frame camera (e.g., Nikon D700).
And that a 35mm lens is the "standard" lens on certain crop frame cameras (e.g., Nikon D90).
Further, on a full-frame camera a 35mm lens can also introduce "distortion", say of someone's nose in a portrait.
So here's my question: Does a 35mm lens on a crop frame camera also introduce the same distortion as that lens would on a full-frame camera? Or, since the sensor is smaller is the 35mm lens on a crop frame camera really like a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera (i.e., is it truly a standard lens)?
Hope this makes sense.
thanks
