If you look closely you will see that the photographer moved for each picture...
I think FOV comparisons with human eye are not really possible due to the peripheral vision we have and how that comes into what we see or not.
I have tried many lenses but find that for me a 23 on crop is perfect. I see a scene and the lens captured all I want to see. When using anything more it was always frustrating and OI never got everything in that I wanted and was forever walking backwards.
