Actually, it will not make any deifference at all. Lens focal

length
has nothing to do with perspective.


That depends on how you use the term "perspective." In the way that

most
people use it, it definitely is related to focal length.


It is important to understand that perspective is only(!) influenced
by distance from the (front) principal point of the lens to the
subject.
*If* most people use it as a *combination of* distance and
field-of-view, they are wrong.
