I just can\'t see how a 16mm focal length will give the same distortion as a 45mm with regards to any aspect.
I\'m guessing that you may have a 16mm lens uncounsciously associated with \'fisheye\' types of lenses and is thereby influencing your concept of what\'s happening. Just leave the numerical value out of the equation.
A side note: When I shot 4x5 with my Schneider 47mmXL Super Angulon, the rear element was barely 1/2 inch away from the film. So close in fact, that you would get a hot spot, so the lens was sold with a center neutral density grad filter for the front of the lens. (Held the center area back a stop or so. I forget exactly.) Schneider advertises that lens as \'almost symmentrical\' in design. It does barrel a tiny bit. Before I was well versed in linear distortion, I thought the \"bow\" in the window frames was due to curled film in the holder, or curled film in the glass-less scanner tray.
