That is exactly it, and we don't yet have any picture that fulfills those requirements. However, I suspect that because those pictures we taken with a telephoto lense at a distance, differentials from object distance scaling and perspective might be mitigated.

Come on ... do we need to repeat that discussion again ??
Yes, both of You have Your arguments, pros a& cons and but I think we won’t solve that mystery of the J-20’s dimensions until CAC published the exact data and both of You won’t persuade the other one.
As such … please not again.

I want those laaaaaarge and in high rez !!!!
perspective really screw the length of the weapon bay there
and i hope they change the MLG bay, it' sticking out like a sore thumb
so can we confirm that it's a two piece door main weapon bay now?

Yeah there were photos a few months back confirming the F-22 style main weapons bay.
can you show the picture if it's not too much of a hassle? or maybe just the post
from what it looks in A.Man's pic, it is different from the F-22
the width of the door suggests that it does not fold like the F-22
No it clearly does fold. The width of the door only looks very wide because it's hard to discern where the fuselage ends and where the door begins.
Also you can tell there are folding lines from previous pics of the J-20's underside:
Here's the pic from a few months ago I was talking about, far clearer and easier to judge width of the bay, and you can even see the additional piece folding horizontally but it's so small and blurry it looks like a shadow.

Also, if it looks like the bay door does not fold like the F-22's, it's due to camera angle and bad resolution, as well as the relatively small width of the inner bay door "fold" (not sure how to describe it)
Here's a photo of the F-22 and you can see how thin the "inner door fold" is.
