Normal lens: Mimicking human vision, Typical normal focal lengths for different formats & Perspective effects of short or long focal-length lenses

In photography and cinematography, a normal lens is a lens that reproduces a field of view that appears "natural" to a human observer. In contrast, depth compression and expansion with shorter or longer focal lengths introduces noticeable, and sometimes disturbing, distortion.
