so......
if you were to take a photo at 50mm with an 8x10, 25mm and digital,
each time moving farther away to keep the same composition, and then
enlarge each to the same size print, they will be the same?
No.
When you move the camera, you are altering the perspective, which, if you
like to quantify things, can be defined as a ratio; " "camera to subject
distance" : "camera to background distance" ".
also......
so then on a large format, a 50mm is not really wide, it is just
larger, because the image coming out of the back of the lens is
larger, so you can stand closer than with a 35mm, even though it is
still a "normal" length?
You need to define what you mean by "large format".
