Do not make the error of assigning perspective to lens focal length. Perspective is a function of where you put the camera, period. Lens focal length does not determine perspective. So perspective means both photos taken from the same place. This is a critical factor. In order to compare same photos they must both be taken from the same place -- same perspective.

Maybe "perspective" is not the correct term(s). By perspective I am talking about the effect I get when I stick a 300mm lens on a 35mm camera, or a 12mm lens for a different perspective (i.e., scrunching or widening of distance, as well as distortions, etc.). A "normal" lens is intended to give a normal (to the typical human eye) relation between far and near distances. Telephotos and wide angles tend to change those relations.
