What a bizarre thread...I thought the OP was asking about using a particular lens for portraits....

It has gone a bit OT... but the other thread we discussed the whole perspective thing on was locked IIRC.

Is it possible for the mods to move the relevant posts from here to that one?

Sadly, the forum software has no facility for merging threads, so each one will have to stand on its own. Still, it's probably been covered very well in both threads.

Can't see any point in moving it. I've been doing a lot of work with panoramas the last week and a lot of folklore stuff just doesn't make sense, so little point in hanging onto old stuff.

Just make the Photozone page a sticky It explains amongst other things why a cricket pitch looks small on TV

There is another thread about WA lenses in which Steve has posted full sized shots at 8,10,12,14 and 16mm (not sure if 20mm was included). Would have been better with some footballs in the corners to show the perspective a bit better. It is different.

This is a can from a corner at 10mm. It's not really distorted that's what you get when most of the IP's are within the frame. Still shows at 20mm.
