Eh? Focal length doesn’t change perspective.

Wrong. Extreme example: Laowa 9/2.8 vs Fujinon XF 90/2. So it is basically 9mm focal length vs 90mm focal length. You telling me, that those lenes would give same perspective?

Yes.

We’re talking about cropping an image from the wide lens to give the same view as you would get from the long lens.

Stand in one place, and take my X-Pro2 with the XF 18/2 in one hand, and my Ricoh GR Digital IV in the other. They both have the same field of view. One achieves it with a pen 18mm lens and an APS-C sensor, the other with a 6mm lens and a 1/1.7” sensor.

When you crop, you’re just using a smaller (part of the) sensor, so a shorter lens gives the same field of view as a longer lens on the full sensor area.

You change perspective by moving the camera.

Hmmm, interestint point. I didn't thought about it this way. I need to run some tests to confirm Your words, unfortunately I don't have access to any lenses than those two I have listed in my signature. But I will keep in mind to check it in the future, when there will be opportunity. Thanks
