    The runways are likely pretty far apart. Telephoto lenses compress depth and make objects appear closer to each other. It’s why telephoto lenses are used for portraits to make facial features look more attractive and with slightly less depth.

      Well you use 50 mm (in the old system) because that was considered the “correct” perspective. Less would give you the fisheye lense distortion.
