In fact, I think the Hasselblad wide angle didn't "stretch" the people on the edges as much. What if he had shot with a 50mm Summicron and Royal Gold 25? Those in the back row wouldn't be as small and we wouldn't have had to stand in the hot sun so long. If the prints made were larger than 8x10 or there had to be less than 100 of them made by the end of the day I would concede there would be a bigger difference, but... Just a thought. Colin P.S.
