This is a myth. Long ago debunked.
1) The angle sensitivity of CCD and CMOS chips is nowhere near enough to
be troubled by the mild angles possible with current 35mm lens mounts
(62-66 degrees). See Canon EOS-1Ds for demonstration.
2) Single lens reflex cameras don't use *traditional* wide angles, they
use retrofocus designs, which don't produce angles any greater than a
normal (50mm) lens.
