Nick:
No! I said that the image produced by different lenses given the SAME subject-film geometry has the same perspective.
If you shoot with a shot with a 240, then move twice as far away and shoot the same shot with a 480, the second shot WILL have a more compressed perspective. But the REASON is that you moved twice as far away, NOT that you used a longer focal length lens.
So, since we use longer focal length lenses at greater distances, we associate them with compressed perspective.
