[The author is] the BEST at this. - Feng Zhu
The optimal lens that creates an acceptable amount of distortion is a 50mm lens. This translates into the drawing as a 60º Cone of Vision. How is this determined? Every lens has a degree of visible area assigned to it and 60º is close to what is seen through a 50mm lens.
— Scott Robertson, How To Draw
