Bill,

All of us experience this, it's just optics. I take a philosophical
view.
YOUR eyes are 2.5 inches apart. Beyond some distance, let's say 100
feet,
your depth perception starts to go away. For instance, if you look at a
two trees on the horizon and there are no other depth cues (one is in
front of the other) it is almost impossible to tell which one is closer.
You can either take your picture with normal spacing and have it be 
basically 2D or you can increase your lens spacing. This increased 
spacing restores the 3D to the scene but also introduces
"miniaturization". 
YOU have to decide which is preferable. For me it's a no brainer. I 
would much rather see the 3D. The miniaturization is a "feature", not 
a "defect" to me. Let's face it, 3D of distant objects isn't natural
anyway.
