50mm is purely the field of view with one eye. Now if we look at the world with both, it doesnt look distorted though the angle of view is greater. This is because it is wide and not Ultrawide. Similarly even in telephoto, I would consider the film 135mm to be the first focal lenghts at which compression gets noticed.

Equivalent to our WDP-4?

With GOC maintaining uniform livery for all types of locos, its hard to distinguish its WDM2 from the WDG3A!

Is that an RPF mamu or just a gangman that we see alongside?

Experts correct me if I am wrong, but a compression effect will always be there whether you use a DSLR or a point & shoot. Lenses above the 50mm lenses(50 is considered the normal focal lenght) will give compression effects. However the effect will be noticably visble only at longer focal lengths shot at longer Field of Views.
