If a super-wide is tilted the least amount you'll get distortion or if a subject is almost touching the camera you'll see some kind of distortion effect. But in Graham's interior it works perfectly because it's a big wide open space so there isn't any distortion. I suppose others more inclined at measuring things will find some, but for me it's a fine interior photograph as it should look. I'm sure I missed your question point, if so please try me again. Thank you. ted
