- Fit a 50mm lens and set up a group of objects at 5' distance. Take a photo.
- Don't move the camera, fit a 28mm lens, focus and take a photo.
Once you process the film or download the image, enlarge the section of the image in the 28mm shot to fit the 50mm shot. You'll see the perspective exactly matches.
Focal length is not an issue in perspective, distance is.

The perspective sure looked different to me, and that's why I was
surprised. However, for the moment I'll leave things as you've explained
them, but at some point I'm going to do a side-by-side comparison. Maybe
perspective wasn't the right term. Anyway, thanks for the explanation -
far more info than i expected.

Again, there is NO difference in perspective between a 28mm lens on 24x36 and an 18mm lens on 16x24. Perspective is wholly dependent upon subject to camera distance.
