need to see un-cropped mamiya7 w/43

[Gary Briggs]

You guys are putting out some awesome shots with the 43 lens, some are noted as cropped, there are many I would think are cropped.

I have shot with the nikon 10-24 lens with a d7000, so that would make it 15-35 on a full frame.
I don't like the distortion, esp of buildings. I don't understand all the types of distortion, the leaning of buildings is not a pblm with the lens...right!?
I have the mamiya 6 w/50, wonderful camera - how does the mamiya 7 w/43 compare in bending objects on the edges?

If you can find some pics that are uncropped with the 43 lens I would love to see them.
Hopefully with both landscape and buildings.

One last thing, relate the WIDTH of the 43 lens to a 35mm lens, I have no sense of the diagonal relationship - "the 43 lens have the same horizontal width as a xx lens in 35mm".

I picked one that I could find easily taken with the 43mm.

I believe buildings leaning in has more to do with the camera pointing slightly up or down when using (any) wide angle lens. When I think of distortion on a wide angle, I think it typically refers to other things (such as the "moustache distortion") noted on some Zeiss distagons.

Here's the full frame printed on fibre paper. It's a lot sharper with better tonality in the actual print, the scanner I'm using does not scan prints well.

Mamiya 7ii w/ 43mm @ somewhere around f/8, Fuji Acros 100.

the 43mm has no distortion (I'd say) if you mean that
if you mean falling lines on tilted shots, well thats the perspective: you can't do anything about this. this is why the finder for the 43mm has a bubble level integrated.

the horizontal equivalent is roughly 22mm diagonal it's a 21mm. (I believe)
