given that the "end" is a sphere, I would have expected the cylinders to
terminate in a curved shape, equidistant.  but I see a right angle.

yes.  and I use a "perspective" type camera.  nontheless, so close to the
objects, I expected less (much less) visual variation.  ibid their apparent
diameters, compared on three displays so it shouldn't be a pixel ratio thing.

does "shadowless" not ameliorate this effect?
