Re: Debunking the telephoto lens myth?

I didn't watch the video but telephoto lenses visually "compress" the subject.
Andreas Feininger in the book Complete Photographer shows this with parking meters.
 
As to depth of field both wide angle and telephoto lens inherently produce the same depth of field. My Physic instructor in the 1970's blew up a wide angle shot until it was the same image size as the telephoto lens. The depth of field was the same once subject size was  equal in the print.
 
The question about which lens to use is:  Which lens produces the most dramatic results visually given a specific situation.

Our comments here introduced the term "perspective" and should also have brought in "depth of field" but that would have necessitated "aperture" as well.
