Hi guys,
I wonder what focal lengths one needs in 8x10 to get this perspective from the center stage of an opera:

8x10 -> 150 XL is wide enough?
4x5 -> 72 XL or 58 XL?
or what about this one:

Finally, I wonder with what focal length Thomas Struth made his city scapes in 4x5:

Look at it at full resolution!
is this rather 58mm or 72mm?
Kind regards
