Wow. When I posed the question all I wanted to do was show my wife why
I was changing lenses. I didn't even think that I would relearn things
that I had forgotten about lenses. Thanks.
Some things we understand and don't think about. Like why in movies
with a car chase shot with a long lens the cars never get closer, just
bigger...... Telephoto compression......
A long time ago when I first started in photgraphy I had an Olympus
OM-1md. The Instruction book, as I remember, had an excellant section
on what you just said. One series of photos showed the subject with
various focal lengths keeping the the camera in the same position. The
next section showed the various focal lengths keping the subject the
same size. I still have my OM-1md, maybe I can find the manual. And
when Vivitar was big one of their brochures had similar photos. I'll
have to see if I can find that tto and review what I had forgotten.
