You're right. It's about perspective moreso than field of view. In that
respect a 28 seems to me to be lot wider angle than a 35.

You must keep in mind that changing physical position of where you take a
Pix from contributes all to perspective.  If you stand still, then change
from 28 to 35 to 50, there is little difference in the field of view between
adjacent fl.... but if you now MOVE YOUR BODY to take in the same image
area, the perspective changes and therefore the differences in the FL
becomes more pronounced.

Bottom line, I still think the 28 is too close to the 35 and the 35 to the
50 to be worthwhile to own both......
