Several other factors come into play besides the lens focal length-
1. The height of the flash.
2. The amount of ambient room light (the more room light, the less the
flash has to dump, AND more room light = constricted pupils of your
subject which = less red eye.
3. Whether or not your subject is looking directly at the camera.
4. The ISO speed of the film. Slower film = more the flash has to put out.
I'm sure I missed a couple of factors, but these I believe, are the main
reasons you will or won't get red-eye.
