Softimage in NZ is almost $7k including subscription, but I can't believe

Guys,
anyone knows of a tool to change only the perspective of a camera?
Something that combines a camera's FOV and it's zoom, so you just see
the lines converging more or less, interactively.

Thanks!

Adjusting the FOV zooms what the camera sees at the same time, so you
have to compensate back by actually changing the camera's z position.
This tool would do that automatically, so the observed size of the
objects remain, but, well, the perspective changes.
