I am now educated that true perspective depends upon distance from subject, and I gree with this. However, I still maintain that a scene viewed through the 28mm frameline of our beloved M6 and the same scene viewed through a 28mm SLR lens (at the same location) look quite different to the viewer's eye. In the 28mm SLR view (at least to my eye) you receive the impression of objects receding dramatically into the distance. In the M6 view through 28mm frame I do not receive the same impression. If you agree that the two views look different, what do you call this property? Is it simply image reduction? In fact, a list member who agreed with everyone else's view of perspective said that when he had his M6 and saw a lovely landscape, he wished he had his SLR along. BTW, I am not trying to push SLRs. I am very fond of M6; I'm just trying to understand what I think I'm seeing.
