Perspective is the relationship of objects and there sizes relative to each other, and it relates to how close you are to the subject. This indirectly leads people to associate certain perspectives with certain lenses, but its the closeness or distance from the subject that makes the perspective change, not the lens. If you stand the same distance away from a subject and just switch lenses, you'll see that the relative sizes of objects COMPARED TO EACH OTHER doesn't change as long as they remain static also. Perspective is easy to misunderstand. Hope this helps. (Short answer to your question is "No, it will look approx like a 35mm") Cheers, JD
