All things equal, the optics of the camera are identical whether they record on film or digital sensors of equal size.
That is why full-frame (35mm) sensors are desirable. The problem is that current 22 megapixel sensors are larger than 35mm.

A 50mm lens will look like normal human vision on 35mm film/sensors, but if you increase the film size to 72mm or even 6x6, you will get a fish-eye effect. The proportion between lens size (50mm) and film size (35mm) gives an zooming or sphereizing effect to your photo

Standard Lens = Film Diagonal
Standard Lens = Diagonal(35mm film)
Standard Lens = sqrt(24²mm x 36²mm)
Standard Lens = 43.2666mm
Standard Lens ~ 50mm (close enough for government work)

Sorry. Engineers need numbers.
