Do you know Edouard Poor's 35mm camera macro set? Not sure if it would 
solve your problem but it might help. There also is a nice little macro 
by DrJohn which can correct the 'falling building syndrome'; a bit 
beside the point but still valuable.

 From my personal experience, I often use a camera angle of 80 when 
rendering landscapes, for instance in my Gancaloon scenes. In 
combination with:

right x*image_width/image_height

I feel I get the wide view I expect. Generally I just use the standard 
camera, not the wide_angle or such.

Something that might help too is playing with the camera look_at 
distance in relation to its location.

Zooming in or out of a scene can be achieved by defining a zoom factor 
Zoom, and multiply that with: direction z*Zoom

For more intimate scenes I prefer a camera angle of 50 or even 35.

Hope this helps somewhat.
