[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 541511, member: 31397"] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]Digital camera world ,is perhaps misleading on this.[/FONT][/COLOR][B]9 things you should know about using prime lenses[/B] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]"An important factor to consider when you’re buying a prime lens is which focal length to go for. Back in the days of 35mm film, a 50mm prime was considered a ‘standard’ lens. That’s because it gives pretty much the same perspective as viewing a scene with the human eye, without the magnification of a telephoto lens or the shrinkage a wide-angle lens uses to squeeze more into the frame." IMO , in common parlance , perspective includes angle of view , and so a wide angle lens does create that change in perspective , regardless of the truth that cropping down a ten degree pic to five degrees , is rather equivalent to shooting with the 5 degree lens.
