Re: Lenses on Crop Sensor Cameras and Distortions

Here is a simplified answer: Use what ever lens you want, but make sure you stand back at about 10'.

The kind of distortion you are talking about is caused by being too close to the subject.

The focal length or sensor size does not matter. You need to stand farther back to eliminate perspective distortion with any lens or camera. 10' is about the minimum distance you should be.
