I did.  And it does not appear to be giving the desired effect.

I am talking about the fact that when you are taking pictures with a
zoom, the apparent depth of the scene shrinks.  i.e. objects directly in
front of you will appear relatively closer to each other than they
really are, such as here:

(watch the word wrap)

Where it looks as if the two boats were about to hit each other when in
fact they were probably a few hundred feet apart.
