It is possible that I cropped the scans dissimilarly and introduced a
discrepancy. It wouldn't be terribly far off the mark though. Both lenses
focus to .85 m. Racked out to that point, the Nikon is about 1/2 inch (2
cm.) longer than the Olympus. Assuming the film of both cameras is on the
same plane, would that difference in distance cause a difference in image
size?

I just don't understand what this means. Can you explain?
