Philippe,
A single click in Capture (maybe even Lightroom?) will take the distortions
away. I think you should buy the new 24mm f1.4 lens for your use - I have
played with it and it is sensational, but I just do not use wide angles
enough to justify the purchase, I find the 16-35 f4 and 24-120 f4 more than
adequate as general purpose lenses and for my street shooting. My money goes
into the best telephotos!
