Perspective is solely a matter of position and has nothing to do with
lens focal length.

Without a long focal length, you can not get distance, assuming the
same coverage at the focal plane. It's amazing what a long focal length
can do photographing flowers/nature.

Regardless, the perspective from a given position is the same regardless
of focal length.

So you would have to crop the image way down if you used a short focal
length. Just what are you arguing?

I'm not arguing. Just stating the facts.

Alan is 100% correct. Different lenses are mearly used to change the
distance where you take the image from.
