The default FOV for POV-Ray is indeed very wide. In photography terms, it's equal to using a 24mm wide angle lens on a full-frame camera.
I usually use a smaller FOV, around 22 degrees. My reasoning is that with LEGO models, we are used to seeing them from a distance and not getting very close to them, so a wide FOV would look unnatural to us. In the end, it comes down to personal preference or an effect you want to achieve by varying the FOV.
