Hi Vesa,
Actually, only the Lens position determines perspective. (Actually
the nodal point position). If you have a ultra-wide angle lens, you
CAN crop the original photo to produce a series of pictures with
the different angles of view, but exactly the same perspective.
Another approach might be to use front-mounted close-up accessories.
E.g. using a two-element close-up diopter like the Canon 500D or
equivalent: http://angelfire.com/ca/erker/closeups.html
Why stop at 2 elements? The EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens is a 6 element
+20 diopter, and when reversed on another 50mm lens will produce a
combined power of 40 diopter corresponding to 25mm focal length.
With full aperture control and focus confirmation too :-)
And with this combination, you could focus REALLY close for 1:1 macro.
Would this give you the angle of view and perspective you desire?
Cheers
Julian Loke
