Hi Simon,
Are you holding the camera or is it on the floor? Your previous post with
the 15mm was very well done and I didn't notice much distortion from the
camera not being squared off horizontally and vertically.

However, in this shot it appears it's not and some distortion is occurring
lower left corner and certainly in the upper right corner. The only reason I
ask is, this location has such excellent 15mm potential for a good
photograph it's a shame not to make sure the verts. and horiz. are squared
away for a good 15mm effect.

I use a 15 on the M and also the R 15mm on the R8 a considerable amount of
the time in the type of location you've shown here simply because the tiles
and vertical columns lend themselves to a super wide angle lens for greatest
effect.

It's a wonderful focal length to work with because one can shoot pictures
that usually have viewers asking "How did you do that?" with awe.
