I don't really want to get into this debate as I don't really know what I am
talking about, but does the lens of the camera move outwards when you turn
it on, and could this be why in the diagrammatic view it is almost touching
the sensor?

So much for all the bullsh*t about angle of incidence at the sensor
then eh! If the last element is almost touching the sensor the angle of
incidence will be very large unless, I suppose, the periphery of the
lens element is not used but then why would it be there?
