It mentions: 5: Perspective:  The angle of view of a normal 50mm lens comes close to that of the  human perspective .This can give a natural look for a number of types of  photography.Which was considered true for 35mm film size since about 1925.  It is written in stone somewhere.   It is not perspective however, perspective depends on where we stand.  It is about angle of view, matching what we thought our human eye saw there.However, DX cameras have a smaller sensor, with a smaller cropped angle of view.  About 30mm would be considered "normal" view for them.  For DX, 50mm view would be equivalent of a FX 75mm telephoto view.Of course, we use zooms to get other angles of view.</blockquote>
