The problem is that people are conflating perspective, resolution and DOF, getting into a complete muddle.  

And compression. And probably rarely making prints to see any practical differences anyway.

Compression IS perspective… Not dependent on focal length. But you are right, somehow the basics of photography, including printing, have fallen by the wayside.

Indeed, while many refer to it as an inherent lens property, not properly as a camera/subject distance issue.

Gloopy mud.

Printing!  Right on topic.

Having visited both Japan & Korea, with varying combinations of cameras and lenses, I would suggest taking the 28 Summaron and the 50 Summilux.

Indeed.  Magnification, print size and often controlled display conditions, as determined by the photographer, not by pixel peeping.  Otherwise, one big circle of confusion.
