Interesting about the illusion of distortion. Yes, I agree, it's hard to imagine if all the cables are straight, but the eye can do funny things.
In copy camera scanning, the specific lens being used is a big influence on the results, combined with how good a match it is to the sensor and everything else really. Every setup returns slightly different results, kind of like scanning with film scanners and flatbed scanners too. Basically, once there with a little experience, you just pick whatever poison tastes good and enjoy it.
I've been doing quite a lot of my Polaroid and 6x6 negative scanning with the Hassy 907x in recent weeks. The more experience I get with it, the better the results seem to get. I've got a fairly good feel for the setup and process now, using the Leica Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm. I'm exploring using my Hasselblad V lenses for this purpose too, preliminary results puts them on par or better than the Leica lens in this use.
It's fun stuff...
