Are there examples of films shot entirely with a normal perspective lens? If a close up or wide shot was used, the camera itself had to move?

No telephoto, wide angle, or zoom lenses?

I can imagine there are great swaths of films from the silent era shot exactly this way (some didn’t even move the camera.)

Many home movies were shot with a single lens, although there were plenty of lens turret and zoom lens home movie cameras. But I think those were generally fit with a slightly wide angle lens to make them more flexible in interior locations, easier to focus.
