The camera just takes the picture  of the view already there. The lens can only magnify, but only where we stand can change the view seen.   There's a cable TV show here on the National Geographic channel called Brain Games, and only a little is about perspective, but it delights in showing us how our brain fools us about what we think we perceive. So I take it that you thought better about trying to show us any evidence of that notion? I don't blame you, I certainly would too, it cannot work that way. The lens does not affect perspective, but where we stand with it is all important.   I have already shown obvious evidence here of that correct thought (the lens magnification does not matter except to framing, only how far back we stand matters to perspective seen). LOL.  That is hilariously weak.  Sorry, no, it is you that imagines drawing a border around the image is perspective.   I think  perspective is the spatial relationships seen within the image, reproducing what can be seen from where we stand with the camera.  The lens is of course extremely linear, a lens has no compression. If it did, it would always be a problem, not just present when we thought we wanted it.  Compression is of course instead caused by where we stand... the view seen from where we choose to stand, which view the lens will simply record. Let's do drop it, this is just dumb, it isn't going anywhere. Neither of us are interested in the others notion.</blockquote>
