A normal lens makes pictures with perspective that feels natural. That is most of what people mean when they talk about the human eye. On a 35mm film camera or full frame digital that would be a 50mm arguably down to a 35mm. On an APS-C thats 35-27mm, on a medium format it’s around 80mm depending on film format. Outside of that and one will often look at a picture and notice the perspective imparted by the lens’s angle of view. Smartphone cameras with wide lenses have also generally moved this preference wider angle. People have peripheral vision and are constantly looking around, so it’s not really about what you can see, but how it looks. Print size, viewing distance, and the individual shot all play into how accurate this guideline is. Keep in mind that with a good enough lens and film/sensor one could get a shot at ultra wide and crop the exact image you would get all the way to super-telephoto.
As a side note, I have an Olympus OM1 that I used to shoot sports with using a 50mm f1.8 lens. That particular combination was an exact match for my vision. I could shoot vertical images with both eyes open, tracking action with my left eye and focus and compose through the lens in perfect stereo vision with my right eye. I’ve owned dozens of other cameras and no other systems did this, but it was great.
