He does comment that not all designs (Petzval for example) were as similar in terms of field of view. But as a timeline the following is a very simplistic view of the order of lens evolution: Standard lenses Long lenses Wide angle lenses And the most recent evolution of lenses has been of the ultra wide-angle zoom, which has progressed significantly over the last decade or two. The main point is the standard lenses render a more lifelike and natural image with less distortion than other focal lengths…📷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted May 11 Share #106 Posted May 11 The Summicron 50/2 rigid has little distortion indeed but so does a wider lens like the Summaron 35/2.8 or even the Biogon 21/4.5. The later has much more vignetting though and the rigid is the only standard lens, the way i understand it at least. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
