You probably know that you used the word "perspective" rather loosely, but I would like to comment this anyway for the beginners. Perspective does not depend on the lens! Perspective is determined only by the distance between the observer and the subject! What you meant was that the angles of view are not very much different. Whether your lens has 24 or 135 mm, the perspective will be the same if you don't change your position. (Wide angles don't make people's noses look bigger because they're wide angles, but because the photographer has to get closer if he wants to fill the frame with the subject's head. He's changing perspective because he's moving closer, not because he has zoomed from 70 to 28 mm.) Greetings, Friedrich Graz, Austria
