I don't.
I see more of the scene with ONE eye than I do with a 28mm lens mounted to my K10D.
Even if i move my head (and eye) forward to where the front element of the lens was I still see a wider field of view than the 28mm lens.
There goes that theory.
well, when i put a 50mm, even on my DSLR, and have both eyes open, the things in the viewfinder are the same size as in real life
when i put on a 20mm, things in the view finder are shrunk more compared to the real eye
and when i put on a 200mm, things in the view finder are magnified compared to the real eye
i just did this, cuz i happen to have all 3 here...
