If you take a shot with a 35mm and take same shot with a 85mm and then crop the 35mm to the same fov as the 85m the image will look _identical_ (not withstanding lens characteristics etc) the compression you talk about is due to the _distance_ between the subject and then lens changing . You will get the same compression effect if you shoot with a 50mm from 30 feet away …
