the real reason people say a 50 is "what your eye sees" is because of you put a 50mm lens on and look through the viewfinder on the camera there will be roughly no change in perspective. but yeah, this IS telephone compression, it's just that telephoto compression is also just about changing perspective. you can get the same effect by walking closer or further and cropping. though, you can't exactly walk any meaningful closer to the moon 😅. i really like the way you phrased the whole active focus vs whole field of view thing. I'm just being mildly pedantic.
