Wouldn't it depend on the width of the slit? A narrow slit will have
less distortion taking place on the top and bottom edges. If you look
though an SLR with a fisheye or wide lens and pan the camera you will
notice a curving, pinching effect taking place along the left and right
edges, but vertically through the center the image is fairly stable and
predictable.
