============ I am going to recap, just to show I am a good student. :-) Also it took me a while to get this. Perspective doesn't change according to focal length. As Godfrey's photos showed. Perspective distortion is caused by the distance and the angle (i.e. the angle the camera is held to the subject). So perspective doesn't change when one uses a wide angle. What does change is how one shoots when one uses a wide angle. One may move in closer, because one can, to get the whole subject in the frame. By doing that one has changed the distance and probably also the angle to the subject. I think I get an A. Okay, A-. Okay, B. It took me a while. This does give me a clearer idea of when it will occur and when I can avoid it.
